Update, First let me say thank you to all whom have served in the armed forces. In the US we celebrate Veterans Day, in other countries it's called different names but all the same If you are veteran thank you, If you have served in a combat zone Thank You and to all whom can enjoy the fact you can and remember those whom will not be with us to celebrate as they have given their all.
As for the VooDoo, I've mostly done clean up, like sanding the putty out of the pits in the breaks and some flaws in the nose and the finishing up of the spine AR. but also installed flaps and rudder and started the seat,

And if you live in Colorado or California, you might be messed up enough to see them.

Looks like a real nice kit Don. I love the look of the photo recon 101's but the price of that kit is way too steep for me so I'll have to stick with the old Monogram in my stash when I build one
Nice work Don

Thanks guys, Glenn, It has it's challenges, but it's the subject that draws it in. the RF-101C and the G/H were the only combat uses the 101 family ever saw. The C model having the biggest usage. That's my draw to this subject. I have the Monogram RF-101B and F-101B as well as the KH F-101A/C and the F-101B is a favorite of mine but the RF-101B was only used by Nevada ANG and never went to a combat zone.
Anyway, the way KH decided to do the engines with the PE, has not gone well and so I am going to use the resin cans I have. The first issue I note is that they are slightly shorter than the kit's, Issue number two is that the build of the kit has the AB built out and then the cans attach giving a full depth to the build. So I had to cut the AB out and add some length to the resin cans.
