Hi Rowan, Thanks for posting. The F-102 is a really interesting subject. I plan to buy a couple in order to try and make the TF-102 also. Cheers Sernak

I've been waiting for years for a new, better version of the Dagger to come out. This one has some really nice features, but why, why, oh....why raised panel lines? Hermon

Just for you Hermon, what's the point of having mad skills if you never get to use them ?? Now, go get one for the Delta Dawn Campaign !! Cheers, D
