Convair F-106B Delta Dart

F-106B Delta Dart USAF trainer airplane model. The new features in the B model of the F-106 were a tandem two seat cockpit, a redesigned fuselage tank area, and Hughes AN-ASQ-25 fire control system equivalent to the F-106A's MA-1.

On 3 August 1956 the Air Force authorized production of a trainer version of the F-106A. A late August decision not to confine the aircraft to a trainer role prompted its redesignation. The future TF-106A became the F-106B, a two-seater packing the F-106As tactical punch.

Procurement of the F-106B was included in the third F-106A contract, but the F-106B definitive contract was not finalized until 3 June 1957. A total of 63 F-106Bs were built.

Scale 1/48. Wingspan 10 inches, Length 18 inches.
