I made some good progress on the Voodoo today. No denying that McDonnell Douglas loved crafting enormous jets. Construction went very smoothly and just a few seams to fill and sand. That dark olive Monogram plastic makes her look a little beat-up during the sanding phase but the plane actually fit together very well.

Thanks, guys! And John, you are correct; great cockpits and wheel bays as well as good engineering and generally accurate shapes and dimensions.

I got the Tamiya Primer applied to the Voodoo today. Just a few spots to touch up. I am going with the two tank load-out since that seemed pretty common on the recon version, instead of the asymmetrical one tank load-out, which seemed popular on the interceptor version.
