Hey Gang, this is my first article for ARC. These are the Revellogram F-102
kits that I built for the Century Series Group Build. I've always
liked the colorful markings of post WWII US Air Force jets. The
Cold War seemed to spawn some pretty cool markings. Both of these
kits are built OOB, with the exception of the 526th bird, which uses
Superscale decals. The 496th Duece uses the kit decals. Both
builds were pretty straight forward with only a few hang-ups along the way.
The SuperScale decals were thin, and I had some trouble with placement, as
they wanted to stick immediately. I've also been experimenting with
penciling panel lines. I like that slightly weathered look
with a semi-gloss finish instead of having the kit look like a toy.
Its been trial and error but I'm getting the hang of it.

I've always liked the
Century Series jets because of the cutting edge technology of the
time, and also the mistique of flying one of those colorful birds over
Europe.
I hope you
enjoy the pics. I hope to have another article soon,
Cheers,
Ian
