That Chance-Vought F6U-3N definitely is Pirate GB material for sure!

Love the Republic MX-1483 too!

It's a Voodoo Greg but not as we know it! It's got a F3H Demon wing for a bit more lift over the fantail. I don't think I can face putting the old wing back but if that's OK, I'll get right on it.

Thanks!

I've re-done the tail fillet to something a bit more representative (after wrestling with photobucket - seems that if you upload a file with the same name as one you've deleted, you get lumbered with the deleted file not the new one??!!!!! Even after clearing cookies!).

A 13 Sqn RF-101B (Matchbox 1/72) was one of my 1st models so I'll have to do a few RAF machines. AMI & SAAF also spring to mind but next up is the RAAF.

Congratulations for your new profile.
I had the same unpleasant experience with Photobucket, but when I gave up, I had the surprise that the IMG link directed to the new picture, the right one.

Greg, I hope you don't mind a non-standard colour scheme on the RAAF bird? This has to be one of the classiest c/s out there!

I've got something similar as a project, a navalized F-101B with the Demon's wing fitted.  I'll prboably also replace the missile bay with a gun bay similar to that on the single-seat Voodoo fighters and I'm thinking that dropping the horizontal down to the fuselage would help in coming aboard the boat.  I'm considering also reducing the vertical tail to match the original Voodoo mockup with the low horizontal.  ::shrug:: It depends on how much carving I feel up to.
