Monogram Century Series 1/48 F-101B Voodoo


Recommended Posts

Some progress today on the pit:

- detached the rudder pedals and moved them backwards

- further painted and detailed the ejection seats

- worked on the displays front and back, some colours to add

- further detailed the tub

Unmasking the flaps and gear bay doors, and main gear bay. Quite ok, some tip ups here and there.

For the wings, I see now that the lower parts behind the wheel bays need to be red, as that is where the flaps are coming on: well, let’s spray that later in red.

 

next step is a gloss spray, and then panel line and brush weathering. Then the front gear bay can be installed in the fuselage, and the fuselage can be closed with the wing parts.

 G'day Bastian,

 

Good looking progress so far and a great subject choice. I don't know much about the Voodoo but are the 'holes' in the ejection seat headrests (the red bit) supposed to be there, they look like they may be sinkmarks?

 

cheers,

 

Pappy

Thanks, a nice build that surprisingly fits good despite its age.

 

You’re right about the sinkhole, shouldn’t be there. Will fill it and repaint, thanks for the sharp eye 😉

 G'day Bastian,

 

You are welcome. It looked a little strange having a hole in the headrest.  The seats is certainly very 'busy' looking isn't it? 

 

cheers,

 

Pappy

Started with glueing the 2 fuselage parts together, fit is without any issues.

Nice work but don't forget to sand off the slime lights on the vertical stab, both sides of the fuselage and both sides of the nose.  Canadian Voodoos didn't have them.  You should also remove the blade antenna immediately behind the first piece of tape behind the cockpit.  Just an FYI in case you're looking a for a bit more realism.

Thanks for the info Mike, much appreciated!

Will take these steps when the fuselage and wings are closed, and sand off before priming the whole bird.

Nice weathering on the undercarriage bays and doors.

To be cleaned when dry, and then to make dirty with light grey spots with another wash

Sometimes you discover afterwards what you should’ve done before…

 

I glued the nose cone in place, while I first had to insert the front gear bay…

 

so I’m gonna cut out this little bridge to slide the front gear in from the

opposite side, and then re-glue it in place.

Followed by the cockpit tub.

Oh well, somewhere the fit should be bad 😄

 

Why they chose at Monogram for this type

of construction is a good question. Perhaps they wanted the challenge the builder…
