The F-106A Delta Dart was one of the most advanced interceptors of its time, designed specifically to counter Soviet strategic bombers such as the Tu-95 Bear. The aircraft could reach speeds up to Mach 2 thanks to the Pratt & Whitney J-75-P-17 engine and featured a unique armament configuration for its era: 4 AIM-4 Falcon missiles and an AIR-2 Genie rocket, stored in a weapons bay under the fuselage. The first flight took place on December 26, 1956, with 277 units of the A version produced.

The Trumpeter 01682 kit stands out for its high level of detail and carefully reproduced panel lines, ensuring satisfaction even for the most demanding modelers.
