Graham T Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Last built this kit about 30 years ago. A year or so back, I had a crack at the KH recon version & that kit is a REAL dog so thought I'd give this a go to restore my faith. Not disappointed - it really is a very nice kit with beautifully detailed cockpits, u/c bays, flap & airbrakes. Raised panel lines of course but none the worse for that, just needs a bit of extra care during assembly in order reduce any sanding/filling to a minumum. The only issue I had was in trying to work out how the internal screen that separates the two cockpits along with the canopy jack are positioned & arranged. Some images from helpful BMers were provided in response to my pleas but I'm not entirely convinced I have them right. I lost the clear cover to the port-side lamp below the cockpits so knocked up a replacement from clear sheet. However I am ABSOLUTELY STEAMING THAT I LOST THE STARBOARD STABILISOR!! I had it painted & all ready to attach & it simply disappeared. I have applied to Revell for a replacement but it seems the kit is OOP & spares are no longer available 😭😭. Anyway, still pleased with how it turned out! Edited May 28, 2020 by Graham T 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Really nice Voodoo. Nice to know it builds well. I like the clean build as Air Defense Command interceptors appear to have been well kept for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo Aero Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Beautiful work! Don't worry about the missing stabilizer. It will show up as soon as you get a replacement. Please don't ask how I know this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverkite211 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Built that kit myself, when it was initially released, in Texas ANG markings. You did a very nice job, though it is a pity about the stab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kushan_Farsight Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Really nice build! In regards to the lost stab - perhaps you could take your other one off and use as a master to cast a mirror opposite? airfoil looks vaguely symmetrical at this scale!

Actually, I've just scored the RF version off ebay so I may nick the stab out of that for this model & think about swapping them over as & when I get around to the RF! That is unless someone has a spare part they're not using! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
