Kitty Hawk CF-101B Voodoo

[Dak Driver]

Hello all, I'm an NG here. I'm planning to build the above named kit. If anyone here has built one, I'd appreciate it if you'd share your experience.

I built the KH Fand ‘

What that the!
 As I was saying, I built both fighter and recce of the KH. I think they make honest replicas but certainly not ultra-stellar. Shoot, you can make a nice rendition with the Monogram kit. Check your references for external details before you embark. Especially vents etc.

The Canucks had some pretty one oh ones to be sure. This makes me want to build one !

Like wschurr said, check your references, especially the fuselage vents on the wing roots .  I know Canada's Voodoos came from US stocks, but for whatever reason, those vents were visibly different from U.SA.F. Voodoos and to how Monogram (1/48) and Revell (1/72) tooled them.  Did KH follow their lead?  I dunno.

Thank you gentlemen. The kit has turned out to be pretty good, with only one serious fit challenge. It was overcome by sanding, filling, and rescribing.  I'm using Canadian made decals that actually include the upper fuselage vents if you choose to use them.
