Here's one that was sent to the A.F. Security Police training area to teach the security guys how to guard aircraft. This was taken in the late 70s so I don't know if it's still being used.

Yep, there are two completely different Revell "1/72 scale" Scorpions. The original (more like 1/80 scale) was the one pictured above taxiing on Arctic ice. It is actually a pretty decent scale model for its day (about 1957 or so).
In the late 1980s - early '90s, Ace Models in Korea created "scaled down" versions of the Monogram F-89D/J Scorpion (and the F-101B Voodoo) for Revell. This is the true 1/72 scale kit and the one most recently reboxed by Revell Germany.

Re the Revell F-89, in the vernacular of Crocodile Dundee, "That's not an old kit, This is an old kit".

To see build logs for my models: http://goldeneramodel.com/mymodels/mymodels.html
My hometown has a B model that was placed in the main park in 1959 after it was surplused by the ID ANG. My cousin's 2nd grade class got to go on a field trip to see it before it was placed on pylons. He got to sit in the cockpit along with other members of his class. For a study of the effectiveness of the F-89, go to Wiki for "the battle of Palmdale".
WIP: Monogram 1/72 B-26 (Snaptite) as 73rd BS B-26, 40-1408, torpedo bomber attempt on Ryujo
Monogram 1/72 B-26 (Snaptite) as 22nd BG B-26, 7-Mile Drome, New Guinea
Minicraft 1/72 B-24D as LB-30, AL-613, "Tough Boy", 28th Composite Group
Late in Scorpion's service, they were serving in Air Guard units attached to the Air Defense Command. Many aircraft in the early- to mid-1960s that used to be natural metal, were refinished with "aircraft gray" (FS 16473), the same color applied to the F-101B, F-102A, and F-106A. You can find shots of non-camouflaged F-100s and F-104s in this color, too.
Here's what the Revell kit looks like finished. No decal sheets for this one; the designs are all paint and letter/star decals. This is the J model from the Minnesota Air National Guard.
As a Scorpion fanatic (and all things Northrop), I'll definitely be watching this build! So far, it looks great and I can't wait to see it with its paint and markings.

Yes am still going to. In the garage I found the Hasegawa weapons kit with the Falcons. Yippee!
Turns out I have two kits, the Hobby Craft and the Academy.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Buddy- Those who say there are no stupid questions have never worked in customer service.
The old Hobbycraft/ Academy kit.
This will be an interesting build. I'll be definately following your progress.
