f4h1phantom Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks to the kindness of the Valom people, we can now see some of the plastic for their first edition of the 1/72 single-seat Voodoos! Higher quality pictures will be available soon. They will be available for purchase starting tomorrow, as I am being told. Future scheduled editions will cover the F/RF-101A and RF-101G/H! Hope to see the rest of the parts soon, but from what I can see, this is going to be an excellent kit of this much neglected variants, and personally the ones I like best. As a side note, this will surely trigger the aftermarket guys and we will hopefully see a wealth of goodies which will surely be most useful for those of us that still have some of the old Hase kits partly started (I will sell the unstarted ones!). Hope you find this useful and congratulations to Valom for tooling these Voodoo variants! Cheers to all, Jorge. Edited October 15, 2015 by f4h1phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Brown Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Nice! Looks like they got the intakes right. Maybe they could send a sample to Kitty Hawk. ;) Ben :D Edited October 11, 2015 by Ben Brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Intakes look good, but they still can't figure out how to draw a US star & bar insignia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat Trebor Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 No wheels or afterbuner cans shown, perhaps in resin ? Hopefully we will see some decals from Caracal Decals. Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll use West Coast for my follow on orders if I like the kit (the posted pics look a little rough).

f4h1phantom Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Here's pictures of the other parts! I don't see the wing fences, so maybe they are present in the sprue where the lower wing part is molded? In any case, I like very much what I see. Hope you do too. Cheers to all, Jorge.

KursadA Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I received both Valom F-101 kits today; and have been very impressed with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gene K Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I received both Valom F-101 kits today; and have been very impressed with them. Same. Clean moulding with very few rivets (thankfully). No locating pins, but fit of the few parts is excellent ... however, care required around top wing to fuselage join . Resin is well cast and easy to fit (intakes and burners). Good register on decals, and clear parts are clear. What's not to like??? Nothing, but would have been a bonus to have a clear-cast photo nose. Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I wonder if they'll come out with a KF-101 tanker http://www.f-100.org/images/f-100c_31713-1.jpg Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gene K Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Looks like Jorge (f4h1phantom) may be having problems posting pictures here at ARC, so hope he can figure that out. In the meantime, he's posted some great build photos/commentary here. Gene K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
