Viperguy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I've been thinking about getting the Kitty Hawk F94C. Any opinions before I spend my hard earned pennies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I just finished building that kit last month. First I will say it is the best 1/48th kit of the F-94C available (I know that does not mean much). The surface of the fuselage and wings had a pebbly finish while the smaller parts like the gear door and tail planes had a very smooth finish. It took a little extra work to get a nice smooth surface for the nmf. The engraved panels were a little light especially on the top and bottom of the fuselage. Fit was up to current standards, biggest area of concern is around the intakes. The cockpit is probably barren by most folks standards, but I don't fixate on that, most of my models are built closed up. There was no real way of securely posing the fuselage speed brakes open. These are all just small nits and overall I enjoyed building the kit and it looks like a Starfire on the shelf next to my Revell F-89D. I used the kit decals and they worked fine with GS Mr Mark Softer. Hope this helps Geoff M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Very nice build Geoff. I hope mine turns out half as good as yours did. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrowTRobot Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I finished one of these kits early last year. Take a look at this posting to see my comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gene K Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Take a look at this posting to see my comments. Wow. THANKS for the link - I missed that one. Beautiful job. Looks like I need to check out "The Display Case" forum. Where do you post your in-progress? Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It's 43 minutes long, the F-94 bit starts at about minute 39 or 40. You'll see Tony Levier, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Geoff, Very nicely built with a excellent NMF especially considering the issues you had to deal with. I have one just seating on the stash shelf that will get built one day. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
