Thank you! Yes, the tub and panels were really nice and the seats have great casting detail, too.
Regards,
Ian

Always liked the look of the Voodoo and yours is shaping up nicely Ian

Thanks, Pete! Yes, the Voodoo has some great lines. Never realized how big an airplane it was until I saw one at the Pima Air Museum.

I worked on the big interceptor some more and it is almost ready to primer. I scratchbuilt a new NACA vent underneath the nose as this A/C has the early flush vent. I just used sheet stock and contoured it with some rounded sanding sticks. I did some sanding and filling around the intakes and also cleaned up the rotary missile launcher. All the beacons and slime lights have been sanded off to depict the early version, too. Just a few more spots to clean up and it will be primer time. Best wishes, Ian

Jolly nice work, especially avoiding sanding away all those raised panel lines!

Coming along really nicely. I believe this kit was released back in 1985.

I made some more progress on the F-101 and got the first application of primer applied. I found a few spots I have to blend and sand but all in all she's in pretty good shape and about ready for some ADC Grey. Best wishes, Ian
