HL-10 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 This is Hasegawa's old kit of the beautiful RF-101C. It's an old kit, very basic by todays standard, but a nice little kit all the same. The panels lines comprise of fine raised lines, but I engraved them anyway. The only extra I added was an Airfix pilot, because he has a helmet more like the old style worn in the late 50s, early 60's. I used Humbrol Polished and Matt Aluminium to do the metal finish and the decals are the kits which though they looked a bit ropy, worked well, until I tore the "U S AIR FORCE" on the starboard side. A quick troll through the spares box and I found similar sized decals, but they were black not blue, so I just replaced the damaged letters. print screen windows xp screenshot photo storage pc screen shot windows screenshot screenshot windows 7 online photo storage picture share Thanks for looking 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Why don't you post proper sized pics like everybody else, I wonder. When I click on any of your thumbnails, I get a log in/upload page @ Postimage.org. Useless. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancient mariner Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Nice build and the engraved panel lines make it look so much better. A classic kit from Hasegawa. PS The picture size is ok by me and far from useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Loads of lovely Voodoo pics for me! Really love Voodoos & no you can't have too many Voodoos. In fact I don't think you see enough in 1/72. I've got the exact same kit, and it does look really nice. Just love to see those early birds with all that snazzy color on aluminum.

HL-10 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks for the comments guys, greatly appreciated. For those who can't see the pics, don't know what to say, most people seem to be able to see them ok. Thanks again. I do like the Century Series, and I might have to make a collection of them!

I'm with you there! Recently picked up the Squadron book titled "Century Series" by Lou Drendel. Superb illustrations in there. Only thing is when you start to really get into a subject, you find that in order to make certain versions such as the A or C model, you need a resin nose. Which is very hard to find.

HL-10 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Mart, I have had that book in my collection for well over twenty years! I just love it, especially the colour illustrations. It is a very inspirational book. In that time I have regularly taken off the shelves and had a read through thinking "I have got to build some of these!" I have an F-100, and F-106 in my stash, and with Meng's new F-102 I think the time is right for a Century Series project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box and the art just exudes quality doesn't it?!! Totally agree about a Century Series project. I wonder if there's been a group build on here, must have been elsewhere, especially on ARC. Currently looking for some decent scale plans of the F-101A as I'm going to do a scratch nose for it in 1/72 instead of waiting around until I find a resin one. I've recently won an Aerodecal set which has markings for one of the colorful Bentwaters birds. Mart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
