Canadian Armed Forces F-101CB Voodoo 1/72 Revell

Another airbrushing practice target, this Canadian One-Oh-Wonder became a testbed for simulating matted aluminium. First layers of aluminium paint didn't work out too well, but mixed with flat white it looked convincingly dull by accident. Since the Canadian Voodoos were old surplus USAAF planes to begin with, I ditched the USAF decals and used the CAF instead.

Final topcoat is semi-matt acrylic varnish, which sealed the decals nicely. This model was built without any other references than the instruction sheet, so it is by no means an exactly accurate representation of the Canadian Voodoos.




I don't know if this kind of weathering is actually possible on a fuel tank, but it sure was fun to simulate!







Ditto for the airframe, note the crisp and thin Revell decals.






I liked this kit actually quite a lot, it isn't bad at all for the 1/72 scale.
