dehowie Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Ahh the forum police.. I guess we can bury new kit announcements from the manufacturer in posts on unrelated topics(are any announcing a new tool F-101B?) from now on. Quality police work... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 "Soon." How long before someone asks specifically, "When?" LOL Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 So when can we expect to see it released? Oh come on you know someone was eventually going to post it... :lol:! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 My father-in-law was with the 15th FIS at DM and I told him one day I would build a Voodoo for him. I've picked up a couple of the Eagle Strike sheets, hard as hens teeth to find, so guess that build will be happening soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CF104 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Bringing this one back to the top. Any more news on this kit? It still shows as coming soon on their website with nothing more than box art. Nothing on their FB page either. Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F4DPhantomII Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yeah what happened? It is 8 months later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 They are known for waving the flag on a new kit and then ignoring it for months, if not longer. I'm still waiting for their Littlebird which was announced nearly a year ago. Since then, they put up a few CAD's, boxart and nothing else. Don't hold your breath....

I'm one of those guys not holding my breath. The F-101 will get here when it gets here. In the meantime I'm building the models I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I know they paid for the Canadian decals, that they are printed by Cartograf and have been delivered. But that was over a year ago. I wish this one would come out soon. Edited March 11, 2017 by Scooby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorvi Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Rather have them do the RF-101A/C...Since the Monogram kit is already done in my case...Dont see a real need fro me to get a new tooled F-101B ...esp/ since it is based on the Monogram kit as we can see....

Scooby Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Nope, I'd rather a new tool CF-101. while the Monogram kit was nice in its day, it is dated. I remember using a rasper file to get parts to conform. Kitty Hawk already tooled the F-101B, they rejected the molds because they were not happy with the product. Which leads back to the earlier F-101A/C, sales have been poor due to the poor quality of the molds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 This one appears to be released now. Saw one available on eBay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbird3a Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kitty-Hawk-1-48-F-101B-Voodoo-KH80114/292513410952?epid=14017677780&hash=item441b286f88:g:EGsAAOSw73Nax23T 'this product has an extended handling time' yup, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Wow, I hope it is close! Or the listing is real. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its even worse for stuff from Russia. Two month or more often being quoted. It usually doesn't take quite that long. Kind of a worse case scenario quote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F4DPhantomII Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Looking forward to the markings on boxtop in 1/48 scale. Monogram or Revell did them once on a 1/48 kit instruction sheet but no actual decals. Revell alos had them in their 1/72 kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 We can only hope that release is soon. The Voodoo is one of my favorite aircraft. Regards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 So from what I recall the first release of the Voodoo from Kitty Hawk had a crappy cockpit. Ok by crappy I mean PE in the cockpit for panels. Somehow it seemed to be old school with the detail on the PE not very good. Well this is really my opinion. I hope of the F-101B is going to be released they do a proper cockpit with raised detail. I am sure they can do it considering their latest releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I rather think those extended-shipping-time-vendors are betting on the come -- speculating that the product will "soon" become available (since they don't yet have it), and that they will then be able to get it to their paid up customers within in the long lead time given. And if they don't make that time frame, what do they have to lose -- they already have your money? Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The original tooling of the F-101B was rejected by Kittyhawk and sent back to the tooling company. Hopefully they got it right this time. Remember our guest who designed the decals for this kit told us this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
