Gene K 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! HUH??? As far as I know, that model was tooled in Korea, and has always been under the Revell label in it's various incarnations.The old Monogram "1/72" Voodoo can't hold a candle to it. Dennis, have you tried companies like Canuk and Belcher Bits. Also, Leading Edge used to have a sheet, so you might want to drop them a line. Finally, they aren't too hard to find on EBay.

Dennis_C Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Gene, Belcher Bits' sheet is wonderful allowing to build any CF-101 except for special schemes! Never came across this name before. And postage seems quite generous! Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Dennis, Belcher Bits decals are very good, I have their CF-104 sheet and like it a lot. Can't comment on accuracy of the Voodoo set as the CF-101 is beyond my interest but I expect quality of the decals and printing to be as good as my sheet. And the Revell kit is a gem. Now this new Valom kit looks very interesting, definitely in my shopping list ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest Scalemates has got it wrong, the early 1990's version was an all new kit, similar in breakdown to the Monogram 1/48th kit. I remember really looking forward to the kit when it was new and was concerned it would be a re-issue of the old Matchbox kit - fortunately it wasn't. I suspect that Monogram kit is originally much,much older than 1988, likewise, that Monogram version from 1992 could actually be the 1/48th kit. I've never seen the revell kit in anything other than the 1991, 1998 and 2013 boxes - it is a very good kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) I've never seen the revell kit in anything other than the 1991, 1998 and 2013 boxes - it is a very good kit. I have both the 1991 and 1998 ones (came across four of em dirt cheap years ago so picked em up) - they include CAF decals but aren't entirely correct: the 'CANADA' legend is in a wrong font and completely black, while it should be red with black outline. So not really worth getting them for the decals anyway, except maybe for the long horizontal flash.

tony.t Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Time to drop kick the 1960s vintage Hasegawa into the nearest bin. Thank you Valom - 66th TRW here we come. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revell 1/72 Voodoo was newly released (in the US) as a Revell kit (no. 4456) in1992, but the Monogram "Mini Masterpieces" F-101 is a 1989 re-release of their earlier 1/109 scale kit. It was issued in a series with other Mini Masterpiece kits which were 1/72 (P-51B, F8F, and P-36), but is definitely NOT 1/72, in spite of what it says on the box.

Creepy Pete Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I fixed the timeline of those kits. That's both the dowside and upside of Scalemates. Not all kit histories are correct, but they're easy to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4h1phantom Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Pictures of the other parts gentlemen! I don't see the wing fences, so maybe they are present in the sprue where the lower wing part is molded? In any case, I like very much what I see. Hope you do too. Cheers to all, Jorge.

tony.t Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Have ordered two direct and these are in transit. One of my all-time favourites, ever since seeing the 1:1 scale versions zoom over Oxon in the late 1960s. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Nice to see an updated and proper fighter bomber version at last. Sadly too late for me as I am now working in 1/48 and 1/32. I have half a dozen Hasegawa kits with conversions and decals in the stash. Still awaiting an nice, accurate 1/32 scale injection kit. It will happen after I build my Combat Wings vacform I'm sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony.t Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Nice review Jorge. My two recce Voodoos arrived yesterday, Wednesday, direct from Valom. Nice beige plastic, which always has been my favourite working colour for styrene. Am absolutely delighted that we have single seaters on par with the Revell two-seat Bravos. Unlike the ancient Hasegawa offering, which I believe first came out in 1967 or 1968, the sensor apertures are see-through on the Valom, offering considerable scope for interior detailing. The omission of the wing fences is indeed an oversight but not an insurmountable problem. Something-thou plastic card will doubtless solve that problem, or as resin or PE AM. Resin slot-in sensor arrangements and open sensor doors would also be nice if Aires or another indulges us. Personally, I find the detail level spot-on. That is why I make 1/72 kits - relatively quick builds that gratify without being overly demanding. For detail, and heft, I still am hoping for a 1/32 Kitty Hawk offering before too long. Mostly, what the Valom kit needs is AM decal options. The RF-101C decals are for camouflaged birds from Tan Son Nhut, RVNam. It would be especially good to see 1960s era NMF recce jets; and my choice would be 45th TRS Polka Dots from Misawa, and (no surprise here) 66th TRW from Laon and, later, Upper Heyford. It's possible at least the former will come in the future RF-101A boxing. Maybe Superscale will consider reprinting 72-362 - oh, yes please ! Go on, you know you want to!

niki Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Many thanks for that In-Box review, Jorge! I am somewhat disappointed but the fault lies mostly with me for my expectations were quite high. But would I prefer no kit at all over one displaying lacks in some areas (Jorge has hinted at them)?! No. I shall see that I can grab a deal on one example.
