The F-102 was underpowered so the Japanese were ahead of the curve untill the F-106 came about :mrgreen:

Thank you, Tone, for posting the pictures. Yes, I agree it sure looks like more like a Delta Dart then a B-58, but it goes without saying, it would be nice to pick one up.
WHEN WAS IT MANUFACTURED AND SOLD by Yonezawa? Dan

Ups, the white F-104 in the background is the super-ultra-rare Yonezawa issue (T-89 in Ron Simth's book).

Very likely the best tin F-104 ever made.

Does somebody have this bird?

One seller had a white Yonezawa Starfighter at our toy show in November. It was affordable, but the horizontal stabiliizer was home made!

Here is a photo of that B58 with the box. I looked all over, and I could not see a trade mark!

It was featured in an auction with opening price of $159.00 and no bids.
