A place for your Convair F-102 Delta Dagger Ideas and Inspiration

To begin with, how about a Royal Thai Air Force F-102 - perhaps being based upon a USAF one handed over from Vietnam:

Another idea: ROKAF F-102

Remember for years seeing F-102s taking off from McChord AFB. Way cool, loved it :-*
-
That would be awesome!
I'm trying to think of other allies the US might have sold it to. Of course Canada comes to mind. Norway?
-
Japanese looks perfect :-* :-* :-*
-
West German perhaps?

Belgian:

Modified with intakes similar to those on the F-104 instead of what was used.
-
Semi-recessed AIM-7 Sparrows under the belly in place of the missile bay, allowing for more internal fuel.
-
Two seat TF-102 as either a dedicated ground attack/strike aircraft or even as a USN interceptor:

Might be of use to some:
-
Semi-recessed AIM-7 Sparrows under the belly in place of the missile bay, allowing for more internal fuel.
Great suggestion Moritz! Would this suggested arrangement allow for more than three Sparrows? I am guessing that each Sparrow would be positioned where the original weapons bay doors had been located. Maybe possible to squeeze in an additional two Sparrows on the outside edges of the original weapons bays? What about supplemental AAM mounted on the wings in addition to the original fuel tanks/pylons? A pair of pylons inboard ahead of the MLG to carry one or two AIM-9 Sidewinders?
-
Navy & Blue Angels ?

Follow on to the Skynight !

I think the F-102 would look pretty good in Spanish markings and the arid camo that the Spanish air force put on their Mirage F.1 fleet.
Also, maybe give it a double delta or cranked delta wing. The inner section could be thicker and accommodate more fuel.
