Canadian Voodoo

[pigsty]

Here at long last is my CF-101B. It's the Monogram 1/48 kit with Belcher Bits decals but otherwise just about all out of the box, apart from the panel lines, which I rescribed. Paint is Xtracolor Voodoo Grey with everything else in Humbrol except the matt black, which is Citadel, and all done with a brush as usual. I confined the weathering to chalk pastels as drawing in the panel lines made them too stark. The pitot is typically coarse, and skew-whiff withal, so it will soon be replaced by one from Master that I picked up at Hornchurch. But officially she's done. Thank you, as ever, to everyone here and on ARC who helped out, especially Giorgio N, who went beyond the call of duty for me.

Sorry about the poor focus - she's not called the Long Bird for nothing. Sorry also that the detail is a bit washed out. My photography ent up to much.

This was another marathon build, this time only partly because of my incompetence. I'll post a separate thread as a crib sheet (in Cold War, here) in case anyone else is daft enough to want to follow in my footsteps.

I've always loved the Voodoo, and that one looks spot on

[jimbuna]

She's a beauty.

I haven't seen a Voodoo built up for years, she looks really great, good build sir...

[cooldudehenry]

Really like the look of that, well done!

Very nice, another old monogram kit which builds up to a good looking model.

Thats rather handsome Sean. Has inspired me to dig out my 1/72 Revell 'scale downs' and add them to the one already done. And, as yours, using Belcher decals.

[BrandX]

That is a formidable Doo, Sir! Bracing myself to tackle 'Hawk One', hopefully before I get too decrepit...

[AnonymousDFB1]

Saw her 'in the flesh' at Southern Expo, she's a beaut Sean.

I have not seen too many ready Voodoo's, this one is beautifull.

Nice build, good choice on markings and unit. But I am biased, I am a former 416 Lynx. These are the first jets I worked on. Ironically I finished my career in 416 Sqdn working on the Hornet.

[Prop-nut]

She looks great, nice scheme also.

416 is the Lynx Squadron, that is the squadron you modeled.

No, I mean, what errors are on the model!

[Vulcanicity]

Well even if there are any, I can't see 'em! Superb build of one of my favourite American aircraft.

That's a beautiful Voodoo, they looked lovely in Canadian colours.

Almost inspired to do the one I have with the C&H F-101C conversion but I'm not sure if I'm up to the re-scribe.
