Mean looking bird. What a great build!

It does give the Voodoo a menacing, almost sinister look.  Well, maybe just a purposeful, "down to business" POV...

Thank you goggsy!

Thanks russ!  Shoulda been a "real" scheme, right? 😉

That is truly superb and superbly photographed too! :worthy:

Kind regards,

Stix 

I am very grateful that my Voodoo has been so well received here.   I think the uniqueness of the black scheme on a '50s aircraft is what makes it stand out (w/ apologies to the black Canadian 101! 😉).  

Thanks for your kind words Stix, they certainly mean a lot to me! 😀

This Monogram 1/48 RF-101B Voodoo was built several years back.   I had the kit in my stash for a awhile before deciding to do a "what if?" build.  I wanted an all-black Voodoo in a pseudo Blackbird-type look.  I don't think any recon Voodoos were painted this way, but it makes a striking appearance for these fast jets .  The Voodoo was a fast plane before the area-ruled fuselage came in vogue (iirc); she did it with good ol' brute power!   😁

 

I used flat, semi-glass and gloss black enamels, as well as the same range in clear acrylics to paint it and weather it.  The decals are from an 1/32 F-117 kit, iirc.  I took these at the Cameron Airport, over the course of two different sessions.  The wind was blowing way too hard during the first one and I watched the horizontal stab flutter up and down so much I was afraid I would lose it.  I hope you enjoy having a look at my "One-Oh-Wonder"!  Thanks for your interest!

Another stunner that l some how missed, the fact that it looks real in your photos is the highest compliment l can pay you, great job!

 

You are much too kind my friend! :worthy:...but, please don't stop! 😆   

She was a lot of fun to photograph out at the airport; that scenery seemed to really suit that plane.   Sometimes I do get lucky!  😁  Thanks again Peter!

 

And thanks to @shortCummins for your "like" too! 🥃
