Mc Donnell Douglas F-101B Voodoo 1:72 Kit by Revell No 04321

The "Revell AG" Company manufactured the Mc Donnell Douglas F-101B Voodoo kit 40321 in approximately 1991. This is a 1:72 scale model with dimensions 29.8 cm × 16.9 cm × 10 cm. The box indicates that it requires a skill level of three. The dogfight scene on the box is a very iconic image that most people will remember; however, I only liked the photographs on the boxes because they captured the imagination. These construction kits were very detailed covering every part of the plane. Unfortunately, I never built it because I was saving up for the paints and the airbrush kit which cost far more than the kit.

This kit gave you a landing gear option of either retracted or extended. I always built my models with the gear down because I was very interested in the landing part. This kit had a very detailed cockpit with two ejector seats, as well as a detailed conical-end section of the power unit. The cockpit canopy could remain in the opened position. The external armament attachments were two Falcon guided missiles, two Genie guided missiles, and two auxiliary fuel tanks for the long distance option. This little beauty will clean house come Armageddon day!


Decals

These decals are very realistic, and I love the Canadian flag, which gives away a little of this planes history.

Instructions

The construction diagrams are very easy to follow and very detailed. You get a nice A4 size booklet with detailed drawings. In fact, I could just look at the diagrams and that would be more than enough for me. Simply looking at these diagrams inspired me to use CATIA and design my own plane.

Revell Kit

The plastic parts come in a sealed packet like this.
