CF-101 Voodoo

The Monogram kit is very old but still a very nice one and is an easy build. The pit has great molded details.

The KH one I have heard horror stories about crappy fit and a pebbly rough finish on the plastic. I read a build review where the builder had one heck of a time getting things to properly fit and heavy use of putty. I can't remember where I read it. but I have stayed clear of it.

Here is my 1/48 Monogram that I made in NMF using Alclad and the kit decals and not one speck of putty was used. Click on the images for closeups.

A Canadian Voodoo would be the two seat F-101B so Monogram is the only kit in 1/48 that will work for you.  Kittyhawk has announced but not released a B version.  I built the kit and I think it is pretty good.  Here's a link to my build:

Finally found a picture of the pit. The details are molded very clear and sharp.

Ur only choice is to convert the Monogram kit. I just started one myself. There are quite a few small details different in the Cf-101s

Has anyone done a 101 in 1:72?  As an old Mac employee, I have started a collection of all MDC fighter aircraft, and have everything in my stash now except for the 101.

Ok, so the Monogram kit it is, I know there are some on Ebay.  Thank you everyone for your input and advice.  I know that there will have to be some conversions made, but having a starting place certainly helps lol.  I can see by the pictures shared that it does make a very nice model, I can only hope I will have the skill to make mine as nice. 

Belcher Bits CF-101 decal set is good but Leading Edge Models is better, in my opinion. Only problem is that LEM can be difficult to find while Mike Belcher’s set is still in production. The Revell / Monogram kit builds up into a CF-101 quite nicely. Cockpit detail is quite good. Take plenty of photos of the CWH’s Voodoo to see what mods you’ll have to make, most notably removal of the slime lights. Hopefully Model Master Enamels still have Canadian Voodoo Grey in their line?

The 1/72 is supposed to be a smaller version of the 1/48 one so it should be very nice.

The Revell/Monogram 1/72nd F-101 B is as good as the 1/48th scale kit. The Hasagawa 1/72nd scale RF-101 can be converted to a C model with an old conversion kit from the old Micro-scale decals, if you can find one. Anyone know if there are any other conversion kits for the RF-101 kit?

Some time ago someone posted an F-101B build of a Canadian F-101B and included all of the corrections/modifications that needed to be done in order to convert the USAF F-101 B into a correct Canadian F-101B. 

Mustang Hobbies in the US has one of the original Monogram kits with Canadian markings of 409 Sqn out of Comox.
