Giorgio N Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Hope this is not an April fool's as I've been waiting for years to lay my hands on a modern F-101A 1/72 kit !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Excellent news... I recently build the Hasegawa kit but it would benefit from a bit more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceB Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Oh dear - guess I better step up and finish converting that pair of Revell F-101Bs to single-seaters so Vaclav can actually release these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalea Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 On the website it's an F101C and RF101C first and a F101A and RF101A later. The Navion is unexpected & interesting. Is this the beginning of a trend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre_days Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Wow! Excellent! The Academy 1:72 T-50 Golden Eagle, the 1:72 Eduard Spitfire IX family, the KP P-51B series and the Airfix Beaufighter X (honourable mentions to the Kinetic 1:72 AMX, Trumpeter MiG-29 "Fulcrum" series and KP La-5 series) now have more competition for the title of "Most Anticipated Kit of 2015" in my books. I've been hoping for a single-seat Voodoo that could stand toe-to-toe with the very nice Revell B-model for ages. Definitely want to grab enough to do the Operation Sun Run schemes, a Vietnam War RF-101 and a couple of the fighter models (including Robin Olds' aircraft, of course) at the very least...

Killingholme Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 OOH nice! I will certainly be getting these. I have a sheet of 'sun run' decals to use too! Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Typical...just spend a lot of time dragging the Hasegawa kit into the 21st century kicking and screaming and then they do this...mind you it's Valom so don't necessarily hold your breath too long....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too true ! Valom kits are not the easiest to build, even if these kits will be accurate, I can see many preferring the old Hasegawa RF The F is another matter though, it's this or some long OOP conversion. As the first version is my favourite, I guess I'll be one of the guinea pigs who'll buy the kit immediately and then report on it. It will sure be better than my never completed conversion of the Matchbox kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I hope they get the intakes right, not like a certain Oriental offering of late. Then again, I have a pile of Hasegawas and conversion sets and decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4h1phantom Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks to the kindness of the Valom people, we can now see some of the plastic for their first edition of the 1/72 single-seat Voodoos! They will be available for purchase starting tomorrow, as I am being told. Future scheduled editions will cover the F/RF-101A and RF-101G/H! Boy! Am I a happy dog or what! Hope to see the rest of the parts soon, but from what I see, this is going to be an excellent kit of this much neglected variants, and personally the ones I like best. As a side note, this will surely trigger the aftermarket guys and we will hopefully see a wealth of goodies which will surely be most useful for those of us that still have some of the old Hase kits partly started. Hope you find this useful and congratulations to Valom for tooling these terrific Voodoo variants! Cheers to all, Jorge.

f4h1phantom Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) "Available" from whom? Gene K I am trying to find that out myself, ha, ha! I have been given a price of 24.50 EUR for the kit if ordering direct from Valom if I understood things correctly (plus postage to your respective country), but haven't been told yet how to actually send payment! Will let you know as soon as I know. Also looking forward to seeing pics of the remaining parts, which include resin and PE. Cheers, Jorge.

Mountain goat Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Will they be bringing out any CF-101's one wonders?! Pardon my ignorance, but aren't Revell's ones quite good? Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4h1phantom Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Available" from whom? Gene K Here's the way: send a request for the kit(s) you want to Mr. Václav Lomitzki at vlomitzki (at) sezman.cz ask for the total amount plus shipping to your country. You can then send payment via PayPal. Worked for me! Not sure if this is the usual way though. Just give it a try! Will they be bringing out any CF-101's one wonders?! EDIT: I agree that the Revell kit is quite good. Not sure why another would be needed... Best regards, Jorge.

Dennis_C Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) The Revell kit is great! The only problem with Revell's CF-101 - current boxing has no decals for CF-101 - so it's just an F-101B. And aftermarket CAF decals don't seem to be in stock with major international online sellers. I plan for a Canadian version and would probably need to go directly to Canadian decal manufacturers. Edited October 12, 2015 by Dennis_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_c67 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Erm, isn't the Revell one the old Matchbox one reboxed? Have one of those in the stash! Edit: Scratch that, just seen it's the old monogram one! Edited October 12, 2015 by charlie_c67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Scratch that, just seen it's the old monogram one! Revell has a new tool F-101B of their own! Check this link: http://models.primeportal.net/?p=2387 It has been reissued recently and is a very nice kit. HTH, Jorge.
