One point mate, I think you have the national marking on the port upper wing the wrong way around. 🇺🇦 Doh … Thanks Craig I’ll need to go through spares now though and see If I have anything the right size ? Of course this will mean a strip and repaint of the whole upper wing now. Being as these are now melted into the paint using Microsol. Not sure how I didn't catch this as they looked right in my minds eye ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with Microsol it etch’s into and becomes part of the paint underneath in my experience. 15 minutes ago, modelling minion said: Sorry to have been the bearer of bad news mate.

Wings unlevel Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Dangerous looking at this thread. I love the Voodoo and this build looks so good it had me thinking, can I find one of these. And it just so happens there’s one available locally up for auction on a certain auction website… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Good morning everyone … Well shes on her gear and there are only little bits left now. Droptanks need paint, the burner cans need to be polished and painted, and the baggage pod needs to be sorted.

modelling minion Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Very close to the finish line now mate, I know that this one has put up a struggle for you but all your hard work is paying off in a very nice looking model. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Hello everyone … Spent the afternoon painting the few remaining parts. The burner cans are done with a minor re-scribe along some of the lines and they're press fit in for the photo’s. I think they look good, Voodoo J-57 cans always seemed to have a brownish tone besides the heat staining. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or thought.

Wings unlevel Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Looking terrific Dennis, very nice cans. I missed out on the F-101B I was bidding on, so will have to live vicariously through your build instead! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Good morning everyone … Almost done now just needs a smidge of weathering around the exhaust and vents then I can be happy. I did only add the starboard tank. The reasons for this is from something I read and several photo’s Ive seen. It seems that the drag from the second tank negated the advantage of the fuel and range. I cant remember if the testing was in the late 60’s or early 70’s. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments or add thoughts.

Ray_W Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Very nice Dennis. Attractive subject. Must be a decent size kit for 1/72. Looks 1/48. I note the pile of props and spinners in your photos. I thought I must of missed a prop's only GB. Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not missed anything I have 10 Prop driven aircraft mostly done on all but the Spitfire Mk.XII. Other than the XII there are 5 P-51’s, 3 Mk.V Spitfires, and one Brewster Buffalo. Add to that a Mitsubishi F-2A, Mk.IV CF.100, and an F-20. I still need to start an F-15C and an F-84F in 1/48 for the Revellogram group build.

modelling minion Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Another great result my friend. I know that this one has fought you all the way but the end result is definitely worth all the effort you have put into it. Thanks for having brought it to the GB and very well done on the result mate. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you both, the only part that really got me sad was the landing gear/gear door assemblies. I think they're over complicated and extremely fragile in the nose gears design. That being said I do have a 2nd one slated for the Canadian A.F. EF-101 that is all black. Im just waiting on the sensors/antennas to get made via 3D printing. If I ever find another I will do a Maineiacs ANG bird as I do love the colorscheme. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
