Yet more Voodoo for you to make you goo-goo: The 1/48th scale McDonnell F-101A/C from Kittyhawk's sprue shots added to the markings..

If you were to draw an aircraft as a kid you would give it pretty much all of the attributes of the McDonnell F-101B Voodoo – now I am not saying that the designers took their plans home for their kids to draw it and I can say that in making the Kittyhawk Voodoo they have had some help from the guys at Detail and scale to get the plans just right – let’s have a look at what is in store for us.. We have seen the CAD drawings now for the colour schemes..now for the sprue shots sent from KH themselves
Kittyhawk Models
1/48th scale
4 marking choices from the USAF

We have added new sprue shots and pictures of the decal sheet - this might show us a little more about the  kit and we though we would add some more into the discussion..
The clear transparencies
And the decals and photo etched parts
Kittyhawk 1/48th scale McDonnell F-101A/C Voodoo now has some colour to add to the CAD..We now have the colours of the voodoo from Kittyhawk in 1/48th scale - it has two decal sheets with four different marking on them - and all of them are really colourful as well so there will be no excuses for having a lacklustre kit!
The four choices are..

81st TFW's  aircraft at RAF Bentwater, UK in early 1961. 
And the earlier basic CAD drawings..
