I JUST STARTED ON THE MENG 1/72 F-102A AND THE F-106A KITS.

1) THE F-106 HAS THE ENGINE INTAKE PLENUM UP TO THE ENGINE FACE. I LIVE IN SAN DIEGO AND ALL I'VE EVER SEEN WERE US NAVY AND USMC A/C. ( I GREW UP VERY NEAR TO NAS MIRAMAR FROM 1962 - 1988 WHEN I MOVED AWAY). THE INTAKE PLENUM WAS ALWAYS SEMI-GLOSS WHITE ON THE A/C I'VE SEEN. BUT, I'VE NEVER REALLY STUDIED USAF CENTURY SERIES JETS; UNTIL NOW. I'VE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL FROM Y/T VIDEOS, BLOGS, BOOKS ETC, AND HAVE COME TO BE ABSOLUTELY FASCINATED WITH THESE "BALLS TO THE WALL, MACH 2 MISSILE BIRDS". OH YES, I'VE STUDIED THE PHANTOM II.
2) I ATTENDED THE USAF 50TH ANNIVERSAY AIR SHOW AT NELLIS BACK IN 1997. WHAT AN EVENT! ! I HAVE SEEN AN F-106 WITH SOME KIND OF PLANE-JANE ARTWORK ON THE U/W FUEL TANKS.
"LAST OF THE SPORT MODELS". IF I COULD FIND THESE EXACT MARKINGS, I'D TRY TO HAVE A SET MADE FOR THIS KIT. MAYBE, THEY ALREADY EXIST?
3) LANDING GEAR, COLORS? WHEEL COLORS? WHEEL WELL COLORS?
THANKS TO ANYONE WHOM WISHES TO SHARE.
