Nikolay Polyakov Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Hello Britmodellers! 👏 Finally, the work is done. There are so many discussions over the Net about this kit, but I’d like to say that the kit is well-designed and great. With a help of my friends here, now I can post the final results. Thanks 🤝 So, the starboard side: The port side: The belly: I spent a lot of time on reshaping an intakes, as the Kitty Hawk provides us the wrong ones: The kit parts are great itself, an afterburners looks fantastic: The landing gear is well-detailed, too: Even if I placed an actuators wrong, it’s looks nice! Also, the protector lines were scribed and the wheels were slightly «weighted»: The walk areas decals were cutted and reshaped: The yellow squadron markings are painted, I decided to not use a decals: A closer look: The starboard side drop tank: The same: The tail position light was scratch builded from the clear sprue: The front view: The canopy with an UHF antenna: The cockpit details are very nice out of the box and an IFR probe looks interesting: I think she’s have a great shapes, and the Kitty Hawk properly recreated this: The Voodoo: As for me, the kit had its issues, but it was pleasure to build it! Thanks for watching. Cheers! 😺 Edited November 20, 2018 by Nikolay Polyakov 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldy Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Nikolay that looks excellent. Looks like it went together really nicely. Perhaps it is time to look mine out and give it a go. Did you build it in sections as per the instructions? Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 No doubt about it, the F-101 is a classy looking aircraft and your model certainly does it justice! Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m very interested in other Voodoo builds 😋 Yes, I build it in sections, as instructed. It needs a lot of dry-fitting, internal (not an external) sanding; some panels and details must be rounded a bit - and all the stuff will fit! Sure thing, I’m gladly answer your questions! There is a WIP thread, if you’re interested: Cheers! 😎 Edited November 20, 2018 by Nikolay Polyakov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can certainly see where the F4 Phantom got her looks from! I was delighted to read that the test pilot who took her straight through the sound barrier was one Robert C Little! Great result Nikolay. Although you didn't do a little macho-man figure standing by a ladder!! 😀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
