It's not easy to find because it's out of print and it doesn't seem to
be available on Squadron or Hannants websites. Squadron got all the
Superscale stock some years ago and still has 72-091 instead.
Btw, there are some nice 106's decal sheets from expert's choice (Bare
Metal), but unfortunately not for the Green Eagles.
You should try looking at local hobby shops: some of them still have
lots of old supescale sheets: maybe they have the one you are looking
for.
Unfortunately, it's the green eagles I'm interested in. I
served with the 49th FIS 1976-1980. If need be, I'll do some careful
masking and paint the things on - but I'd prefer to avoid that.
I've looked around here (Austin, TX). One shop (King Hobby)
does still have a nice selection of the older sheets, but not the one
I need.
has got the following on special offer for
£1.99:
Detail & Scale DSD0448 F-106A Delta Dart (2) 49FIS 1972/1978 styles 90135
1972; 60458 1978; 90127
Assuming that it was 1/48 that you were after...
Should cost about $5 with postage.
Does this help?
Bestest,
Matt
The 49th is the unit from Griffis right? If the decals for that unit are
all that you
want I'm willing to part with some no cost. I have a few of the sheets but
only
plan to use the 5th FIS fin flashes. Email me at
snipped-for-privacy@mnstate.edu.diespammer
(remove die spammer) and I'll get them out to you. How many do you need?
Thanks guys,

Actually, that's one of the annoying things about this. I have
the 1/48th sheet (perfect condition) - got it years ago when I picked
up the Monogram kit. But I'm a 1/72nd builder. The only reason I even
have a 1/48th scale kit (the only one I have) is the association with
the 49th.
I used to have a nice 1/72 49th FIS F-106, but, well, sad
story... I always thought I could simply get another kit and decal
set and replace it. I didn't realize the decals would be so hard to
replace until my interest picked up again this last year. Then the
Amodel Tu-128 became available (current project), and that set me to
gearing up to finally replace my lost 49th F-106.

If those are 1/72, I may take you up on the offer. Fingers
crossed.
