mess Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Do you plan to fix intakes? Some photos above show that front edge should be perpendicular to fuselage for A/C versions, KittyHawk interpretation is ok for B version. M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not planning to do this, but I’ll get back to the intakes after some fuselage work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 WOW! Nice.... Any ideas what is going on with the yellow on the top? Love these pictures. Such a classy Plane! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Hey @rob Lyttle ... My guess is its similar to the F-104’s yellow/cream di-electric panel on the spine ? Edited May 14, 2018 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolay Polyakov Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) Hello guys! There is nothing special to show you at the moment, some sanding and fuselage works: Some improvisation, again: The tail halves are glued together, the fuel tanks are waiting for the panel lines to be rescribed: @bentwaters81tfw, I spotted on this image that the mid sections of the fuel tanks looks like a NMF, but FT tails and noses are not (can you explain it?): Amazing photo, the Voodoo in full forces: Cheers!

bentwaters81tfw Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Tanks are NMF. Some tonal differences on some of the tanks. That shot has a Mk7 store on the centreline. Very rare to see that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Lyttle Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yes, I was wondering about the tanks on this one, You're right, Nik, it's like a brilliant piece of Sculpture! I always think of the Voodoo as the mother of the F4Phantom- You can see the way the design team is going. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolay Polyakov Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Hello friends! 🙂 Today was the glueing day, a lot of work with the big parts: The strip lights on the wings is partially sanded out, the wings are assembled (an intakes are not cutted yet, I’m full of doubts...): The refueling probe are pre-painted and putted into its compartment: Another fuselage part is ready to install, but I’m not sure about the weight that instructions says to use (@rob Lyttle, is our Voodoo is a tail-sitter?): The tail is fixed and glued to the fuselage: Not bad at all: Thanks for watching!

Silver Fox Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Great progress on the model and thanks to all who contributed to the photo gallery. My kit is out of the stash and opened, I hope to start proper assembly later today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask your questions and we’ll sort it out together: there are so many little tricks to do on this build, I ignored some vague «symptoms» and have a lot of problems now 🤔 Cheers!

rob Lyttle Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I filled the nose cone - definitely remember doing that. Probably with plasticine. I think I put some extra in the front of the fuselage as there is quite a lot of plastic out the tail. But the Voodoo is not too bad. The main wheels are back a good distance and there is plenty of front fuselage. So give it some, but don't have to go crazy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I just read through my WIP and can't find more information on weight. You getting problems.....?? Here's the thread if it's any help but a lot of it is about doing foil!😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
