CD72047 - RF-101C


Recommended Posts

I started scaling down the design elements to fit the Valom kit.(I had drawn them earlier in the year when Kitty Hawk announced their RF-101C kit).

I just wanted to take the opportunity to reiterate once again how nice the Valom F-101 kits are. Crisp panel lines, small sprue attachment points. Certainly at least the equivalent of later Esci and Italeri kits in terms of molding quality and design - highly recommended.

Any chance of doing an F-101C sheet, as Valom messed up with the one for the 81st TFW bird, missed the stars on the blue on the fin see here.

I have some F-101A/C markings in the pipeline as well - I plan to release them soon after the RF-101C sheet.

There are only USAF options on this sheet, sorry. I am sure the ROCAF aircraft will be well covered by one of the local outfits.

Ok, thanks.

Indeed, it's already done by Bestfong, but for the hasegawa kit in 1/72, nothing so far in 1/48, as I suppose your product will be scaled up at some time, for the KH kit?

Yes - in fact, I designed most of this artwork for the 1/48 sheet I announced when KH announced their 1/48 RF-101C kit, which was "coming soon". As it turned out, we got a new 1/72 kit before the KH kit appeared.

Is there any chance of your providing the red lightning flash and serial number as separate decals? I think I'd rather paint the yellow and black areas than apply a big decal.

I think you know what I think about big decal elements, but this one is actually not that big and sits on a relatively flat area. I will try and provide them as a separate decal, though.

Final draft of CD72047, which will have a total of 7 options : four natural metal RF-101Cs in colorful 1960s era markings, and three camouflaged aircraft.

This sheet is designed for the new Valom kit, no guarantees that the tail markings will fit the Hasegawa kit.

Just a reminder that this sheet is designed for the Valom kit and the tail markings may not fit the older Hasegawa kit (have not tried it, though). Any 1/72 modeler interested in the F-101 should get the very nice Valom kits.
