Dagger







Here are some images plus a composite of Monogram's 1/48 scale Convair F-102 Delta Dagger. The Dagger was specifically designed for defense of the continental U.S. The YF 102 first flew in October of 1952 but proved to have disappointing performance. After the airframe was redesigned with Whitcomb area ruling to reduce drag. This change improved performance to such a degree that it became feasible for the production of the Dagger.
