filobeddowes Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi all,Here's my Revell F-101B Voodoo, Texas ANG. The kit was built OOB, except for the cockpit area taken from the Pavla Models set. Probably should have opened up the cockpit, and also done the yellow canopy framing, might consider doing this. Anyway, hope you like.CheersJohn 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vh-bob Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 John, well done, lovely panel lines. This is the standard that I have long aspired to but never achieved. Great Work, Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filobeddowes Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks Trev. For the panel lines, I always apply Humbrol Clear, then use the new humbrol enamel washes (50% black, 50% dark brown). Apply fairly generously over the entire model in the areas of the lines, then leave to dry for a couple of hours and apply again. Then leave the whole thing to dry for 24 hours (looks a mess at this point), before using a cotton cloth with enamel thinners to wipe away the excess. Also adds a light dirty look which I like.

Winenut Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Whoa!!! Super crisp detail on the panel lines/rivets. Seriously how did you do that!? Great finish and detail on a 1/72 aircraft I don't know much about. Thanks for posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filobeddowes Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks Winenut. See above for my panel line technique. I'll post a walkthrough for doing this on my next build. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troffa Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I love it! Great looking Voodoo, which ADC Gray did you use? It looks spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filobeddowes Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Here you go Troffa I can't remember where I got this, but it may have been from Airbrushes.com - they certainly stock it. Much of the pigment had flocculated, and despite mixing/stirring, it still blocked my airbrush. In the end, I filtered some through a pair of my girlfriends tights (not while she had them on!) and it went on fine after that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Nice work John. Seems the Voodoo is the forgotten member of the Century series so it's good to see one done well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Beautifully executed, again hard to believe it's 72nd. I always assumed this kit to be the Matchbox molding, is that the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filobeddowes Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Beautifully executed, again hard to believe it's 72nd. I always assumed this kit to be the Matchbox molding, is that the case? I don't think so. According to http://www.scalemodellingnow.com/hnaircraftkits-revell-f101b-voodoo, the moulding dates back to 1991 and is a re-release. The matchbox kit http://modelingmadness.com/scott/viet/mb101preview.htm looks to have far fewer parts than does the Revell. I also seem to recall that matchbox kits either had raised panel lines, or if they were engraved were so deep and wide you could almost abseil into them.

Thanks John, I hadn't realised that there was a different tool 101B, to get the Matchbox one looking like that would require complete filling and rescribing!

Ignacio Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Very nice job on that Voodoo! Are the panel lines engraved on the kit or were re-scribed by you? Best regards. Ignacio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed this kit to be the Matchbox molding, is that the case? It's definitely not the Matchbox. I've done both, and the Revell kit is years ahead of the Matchbox in terns of the level of detail. Here's what you get in the Matchbox kit, compared to what's in the Revell box. The Revell is basically a pantographed Monogram 1/48 kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
