Old72s Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) What's red and black and white and can climb at 50,000 feet/min without any fancy area ruling? Here's my Monogram 1/48 F-101B Voodoo in Lynx One markings. Nice kit, superb cockpit detail, decent fit except top of the wing to the fuselage join which is very weak (I filled mine with stretched sprue). I built mine Genies down to show them off and because the Falcons in the kit are the incorrect AIM-4Gs which Voodoo never carried and I didn't want to raid my Deuce for the AIM-4E's. The kit was clearly made off a museum aircraft with locks molded onto main gear retraction struts and airbrake actuators. The only modification was the target ID spotlight made from a piece of clear sprue with aluminum foil backing. Kit decals are nicely printed and worked flawlessly. Detailed article and better pictures will be sent to ARC later. Edited October 3, 2005 by Old72s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spunk-Y Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 looks nice, got that one also lying around somewhere with those decals (but I found the kit decals a little bit thick en to shiny, how do they went on?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old72s Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 The decals on mine worked perfectly and are actually very thin. It took a touch of Solvaset in a few places but overall very very good and great adhesion. They are quite glossy but so is the rest of the airplane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 very, very nice - one of my favorite CF-101 schemes. Nice job overall! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ipms33206 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Great job on that build! I loved the Canadian F101's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Nice looking voodoo there, I really like the canadian ones, The kit decals got trashed in mine so ended up doing it as from The Minnesota ANG Turned out OK if I say so, Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Cheetah Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Nice One oh Wonders there guys. Olds, if your ever in the Halifax, the real Lynx 1 is on display accross the highway from the Halifax International Airport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Bratton Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Nice job on your Voodoo! ;) One minor niggle, the a/c vent on the lower left fuselage under the rescue arrow should be an NACA flush style intake on CF-101's, only 067 (The Electric Jet) had the intake as supplied in the kit. For your next CF-101 just leave this part off as the locating "dent" in the nose is almost a perfect shape for the intake. Other than that a great looking build and a super looking scheme. Nice work!

Old72s Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 Thanks Sean. I was running out of steam on the project (there are like 4 paint jobs on the model, #*&^* spraycan white) so the intake was a victim of "git 'er done." I have a photo of another Canadian Voodoo (number 463 as far as I can tell) with the protruding intake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
