It's a 1980's kit -- about the same vintage as the F-106. By most accounts
it's a nice kit.

Hey! Who you callin' ancient????
Yes, this is a repop of Monogram's 1980s vintage F-101B. It's a
typical Monogram kit of that era, very nicely detailed (especially,
IMHO, the cockpit), with some fit issues. That being said, it may take
some work in that fit arena, but it does build up into an impressive-
looking kit.
