My second entry for the Favorite Aircraft of All Time Group Build is a F-94B Starfire "Hells Angel"

The P/F-80 T-33 F-94 family jets have always been some of my favorite early jets. Seeing the F-94 at the Air Force Museum on my recent trip there made me decide to do this one. I have never used a large PE set like this before. So it should be interesting. The set includes PE seats which I will use keeping the resin seats in reserve if the PE doesn't work out.

The aircraft I will model is F-94B 51-15480 "Hells Angel" Assigned to the 68th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, K-13 Air Base Suwon Korea and Itazuke Air Base Japan during late 1951 and early 1952. I could not find any pictures of the actual aircraft, but here are some cplor pics of other F-94s from the 68th FIS, but the first is a picture of the F-94A I took at the Air Force Museum last weekend.

Interesting choice Glenn, I like the add-ons particularly the PE, it looks like you will have your hands full with these.

 

[Wurger]

Yep.. I agree. Keep working Glenn.

I built one about 10 years ago O.O.B., can't wait to see one "dressed-up"!

Nice choice Glenn. I have always thought about picking one of these up but never got around to doing it. Should be instructive to watch this unfold.

 

[Crimea_River]

Interesting choice.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Don't know that I've ever seen one so this will be great!

 

[Airframes]

Good one Glenn, and a heck of a lot of PE ! Like the period pics too.

 

[Catch22]

Never see this one Glenn, looking forward to it.

I started with the cockpit PE. It was the first time I had done anything this extensive with PE, and it wasn't as bad as I had feared. I only got my fingers stuck together once . There's still quite a bit of PE to go including the control panels and parts on the canopy, but I'll get this painted first.

Great job on the P.E. Glenn. Do you have a folding tool or like me, razor and metal ruler.

Razor and an xacto knife. Worked pretty good.

A lot of good stuff for this baby.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Even Eduard's PE demo pics don't look that good Glenn.

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks for the encouragement on my first try at something like this.
