1/48 Monogram McDonnell RF-101B Voodoo "Black Magic"

This Monogram 1/48 Voodoo was built several years back and I'm sure I had posted it here in an earlier "incarnation" I guess. I had the kit in my stash for a awhile before deciding to do a "what if?" build. I wanted an all-black Voodoo in a pseudo Blackbird-type look. I don't think any recon Voodoos were painted this way, but it makes a striking appearance for these fast jets . The Voodoo was a haulin'-ass plane before the area ruled fuselage came in vogue; she did it with good ol' brute power! 
I used flat, semi-glass and gloss black as well as the same range in clear acrylics to paint it and weather it. The decals are from an 1/32 F-117 kit, iirc. I took these at the Cameron Airport, over the course of two different sessions. The wind was blowing way too hard during the first one and I watched the horizontal stab flutter up and down so much I was afraid I would lose it. Thanks for your interest!

A very strikingly beautiful "what if"!
