MENG’s new small-scale Convair Delta
Dart is pretty sharp straight
out of the box.

The F-106A was an American supersonic all-weather interceptor. It
is essentially an evolution of the F-102 with a new Pratt & Whitney
J75 Engine. It was designed in order to replace the F-86L Sabre.
The nicknamed ‘Delta Dart’ it had the benefits of high speed and
various navigation methods, the U.S.A.F claimed that the F-106
was fully capable of automatic interception in any weather, “the
only thing a pilot needed to do was to use their hands and brain at
take-off and landing”. The armament included four AIM-4 missiles
and one AIR-2 Genie nuclear rocket. Later, in 1972 one 20mm
M61A1 Vulcan canon was installed. When the F-15 Eagle entered
in service, the F-106s were passed on to the Air National Guard.
MENG have promised a highly detailed and accurate F-106 in
seventy- second scale with brand new tooling and have certainly
delivered the goods, perfect for an out of the box build. The
surface detail is some of the best you’ll see in this scale and the
moulding beautifully crisp throughout.
