^ Sounds cool! Have you decided on unit markings yet?

Nope, though it will be a USN squadron. Speaking of this project, anyone know where I can purchase an Aeroclub 1/72 F-101A/C conversion for Hasegawa's RF-101C? I want the gun muzzle fairings for this project.

^ You probably already know of this one but what the hay......

No, I wasn't aware of that source and have now emailed them with regard to availability. I'll likely get two conversions, one as a spare "just in case". They've got a lot of other kits I'm looking for, too.

Thanks for the comments guys!

I intend to do a few more Voodoos but in the meantime, something that has been on the back-burner for an age.

Voodoos are always cool, keep 'em up!

That Tornado......it must be built

You know, after look at that Tornado for awhile I can't help but notice how similar it looks to an A-20 Havoc; just me?

Um...... cool B-45...... :)

The B- 45 is a gorgeous and sadly neglected aircraft-I wish there were a less expensive option than
the Mach 2 kit...( which I gather is a bear to build, besides. )

Great profiles!

Cliffy B · « **Reply #340 on:** August 24, 2012, 01:37:21 AM »

I agree with Doc! Is there no 1/144 kit? Please keep the Tornadoes coming!!!!

Thanks!

I have a couple of B-45s in the works. I would have finished one of them this evening but I've finally had it with photobucket's seemingly optional picture loading! I've now uploaded all the more recent stuff to Flickr.

Well said Dr. Yokai. Like more of B-45 in pixal and plastic.
Empty Handed > Good job and more of B-45 is fine by me.

In Grumman Swing-Wing XF10F-1 Jaguar by Corwin 'Corky' Meyer, there is a 3-view of the original Grumman G-83 design which was somewhat more conventional and clearly derivative of the F9F Panther (as well as a couple of other alternative designs which I will come to later). It inspired the following:

I wanted to try a USAF style scheme on a USN bird with the full U.S. Navy title on the nose and a buzz number etc. and this was the result.....
