Hasegawa 1/72 RF-101C

Post by jeaton01 »

This one completes a 1/72 collection of at least one example of each of the Century Series. It is a kit from the 60's and is rather simplified but fit well enough. I used Caracal decals with Alclad II and Model Master paints. At the end is the bunch of them. No, I don't know how the F-4 and RF-101C avoided a midair.

Nice Voodoo, John. Never built one in all the years of doing model kits.

Oh, that's so nice, John! :shoutout: Beautiful work, sir! And thank you for that group photo, I'm a true sucker for group shots like that. :bow: And as for my own 1/48 Century Series collection, I've still got to add a 105 and a 106. I have both in old Monogram kits, perhaps they too will get built someday. :wink:

Very nice John, and you're - that's an interesting bit of boxart - I bet those pilots had something to say during the debrief.

That's a cracking looking model and a good example of how well an older kit can be turned out. I love the group shot, they all look excellent. I've only two of those on the shelf at the minute - I really must get on and build more although I find myself drawn to the 80's and 90's series jets at the moment.

Superb work. Our ANG in Louisville flew the RF-101s for a good while. Then I believe they moved to RF-4 then to C-130.
