Chen Zexi’s

winning aircraft entry from

the first MENG modelling contest,

Beijing 2014

The Editor was honoured to be invited as part of an

international judging panel at MENG’s first model

competition held in Beijing back in May as part of

Hobby Expo China. Knowing little of the modelling

scene in China it was encouraging to see the

country which is the driving force behind some of

the most exciting kit releases has some very

enthusiastic and highly skilled modellers.

One such guy is Chen Zexi, the builder of the

winning MENG kit in the aircraft catagory.

F-102A

George W. Bush’s Delta Dagger

The F-102A, designed by Convair in the 1950s, was

a supersonic, day and night interceptor aircraft.

Among various types of fighters / interceptors that

served with the USAF, the F-102A was famous as the

first aircraft incorporating the transonic area rule in

mass production. Future U.S. President George

Walker Bush also served as an F-102A pilot with the

111th Squadron of Texas Air National Guard.

This kit (Serial no. DS003s) made by MENG is a

special exhibition limited edition for the IPMS (UK)

Scale Model World 2012. It faithfully depicts the

details of the markings of the aircraft flown by G. W.

Bush. Also, the quality is far superior than the older

kit produced by Hasegawa, but I still had the urge to

add some detail of my own! I opted to use an Eduard

photo-etch set and Quickboost resin parts for the

nose section in order to add more details and open

some panels.
