Title: 1/72 F-101X
Post by: The Big Gimper on June 04, 2018, 10:28:42 PM

We are cleaning out my parents home.  My parents kept a few of my kits that I had built in the early 1980s. 

Here is the Matchbox CF-101B in my alma mater markings. There is no provision for the AIM-4Ds or AIR-2As which makes new armament easy to add. I am shocked the pitot tube is still intact.  :icon_surprised:

No firm ideas yet on what I will do but a few sleeps I think will help.

Concur with John.

If this was mine, I'd just dust it off and enjoy the plaudits!

You guys are killing me. I really want to refurbish this kit.

Here are the parts I intend to use.

Look, I promise to build another CF-101B or two or three but I'll use the much better Revell kit. With this kit I can show the AIM-4D and AIR-2A.
