ChippyWho Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 An un-reconstructed, un-rescribed and unapologetic Monogram Century kit -what's not to like?! Magnificent work, and an excellent choice of markings: the Voodoo wears that restrained Minnesota ANG scheme most elegantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

k5ikl Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Very nice job. Looks great. Been thinking of dragging a couple of my F-101's out of the closet and getting them started. What did you use for the canopy seals? Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice work..just what we need more "Century series" aircraft...from the "golden age" of jet development and advancement..excellent build...what's next? Thank you Clif. I just love those old kits, its the challenge of making them look as nice as some of the new ones coming out these days. Up on the bench right now is the 1/48 Hasegawa P-40N with the complete Eduard Big ed set and ultracast resin diamond tread eight spoked wheels. This will take a little more time than usual but it is well worth the extra effort when it gets finished. Best regards, Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Steve, I'm more then impressed at your finished F-101. I have to say that those raised panel lines really don't detract from the finished model one bit. Perfect paint, perfect decaling, and perfect NMF for the exhaust area. Just how did you mask the windshield and canopy for the yellow seals? They look fantastic. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just how did you mask the windshield and canopy for the yellow seals? They look fantastic. Joel Thank you Joel, I first dipped the canopy in future and then let dry overnight or at least 24 hours. I then used bare metal foil burnished down beyond where the yellow trim would be. Then I painted flat black for the inside color on the outside and then followed by aircraft gray fs 16473. After all that is dry I cut where the trim would be and removed the bare metal foil from that area. Then masked above and below where the yellow will be airbrushed. Make sure you go flat black, flat white, then yellow. Then its just remove the tape, best choice would be tamiya cut in small strips, or use some sort of masking compound, it is easy to remove smaller painted areas with bare metal foil, so be careful to use a lower tack tape. That's about it, a great video to watch is from Paul Budzik, on painting and masking canopies its on youtube. Best regards, Steve P.S.There will be residue from the bare metal foil. Make a piece of paper towel into a point and wick some GooGone out on the paper towel tip. Just wipe off the residue it will clean it off.
