I am almost done with the design of the first ANG F-101B Voodoo sheet. There is still some work left to refine some of the elements(not all the stencils are there, The Oregon red hawk is shown in a simplified form, etc.), to finish the stencils and the final layout of the sheet. I will post a final draft sometime this week. Meanwhile, here are the options:

-F-101B 58-0306, 132nd FIS, Maine Air National Guard
-F-101B 58-0304, 136th FIS, New York Air National Guard
-F-101B 58-0339, 123rd FIS, Oregon Air National Guard
-F-101B 57-0300, 116th FIS, Washington Air National Guard

This sheet will be available in both 1/72 and 1/48 around mid-to-late May.

Will the Texas ANG 101s from the 147th be avaliable in the future?

Hi Kursad,

Well, it looks like I'd better get my 1/72 Revell F-101B dusted off and ready to go. Thanks so much for the 1/72 decals, I can't wait to buy my set (and of course your 1/72 F-100 decals when they are ready). They look fantastic! :banana:

-Derek

Here is the final design as I sent to be printed. I dropped the NY ANG markings since I ran out of space in the sheet; but Monogram provided this in one of the boxings anyway. If this is successful, I will definitely do a second one with Texas, Minnesota and perhaps a couple others.

I drew the artwork from period photographs of active Voodoos; and not the numerous preserved, repainted exhibit aircraft. I can't make up my mind about whether the Maineiacs script had a white border or not. I have seen some pretty convincing photos suggesting that it did; but then again I heard from several people who claim to have worked with the aircraft and can swear that it did not. I finally threw up the towel and provided both options. I personally think it did have a small white border, but it's your call.

It should be available sometime in late June. 1/72 will be coming later in summer.

Picked up another Revell 1/72 F-101B today at a model show. Any chance of a picture of the instruction sheet for the Maine version so I can make a start on my Voodoo ? Oh and looking forward to a second sheet, with a Happy Hooligan, Texan and Minnesota on it.

I will post the instruction sheet when it's ready; but all the options on this sheet are simply painted in the standard scheme of overall FS16473 Aircraft Gray.

The decals are ready, and I will start shipping them later next week. I am very happy with how this sheet has turned out and I am sure Voodoo enthusiasts will like it, too.

Hi Kursad, you're certainly turning out some top notch sheets.

Any chance of a International Mirage 2000 sheet?

This sheet and your F-102 sheet look great!

Do you have an ETA yet for the 1/72 version(s) Kursad? Thanks,

-Derek

Hi Scott,
A Mirage 2000 sheet is certainly a good idea. Most of the major operators (France, Brazil etc.) have been covered fairly well by local specialist decal businesses, but I will look into this suggestion. Let me know if you have any ideas for second or third countries that you think should be covered(I already know the first one).

Hi Derek,

I am putting it together this week. As I mentioned before, I will release a few mixed subject (F-100,F-101 & F-102) ANG sheets in 1/72. This (and most of my future 1/72 sheets) will be printed at the Czech Republic; and I expect to send them to the printers within a couple of weeks.

The instruction sheets are in, and I will start shipping these this weekend. Judging by the number of preorders, the F-101B and F-102 sheets will probably sell out fairly quickly. First reviews should be up next week, and I will announce a few future projects soon afterwards.

Ordered a f-101 sheet. Thanks for doing these. I've been wanting a Oregon ANG bird for years! Still hoping you'll get that other F-100 ANG sheet with the New Mexico ANG scheme.

Charlie

It's been brought to my attention that the instruction sheet says "Oregon,Texas and Washington". Duh! It's too late for the first batch that went to everyone who preordered, but I will fix it for the batch that will be going to the resellers & distributors. My apologies to everyone and the residents of the great state of Maine in particular..If you already got your decals and want a corrected instruction sheet; please drop me a note with your next order and I will send you one.

This sheet has been selling really well, and I think I will sell out within a month at this rate. I will be busy with my F-94C, T-45 and F-15 releases over the next couple of months; but a second F-101B sheet will be coming as a November or December release. The subjects I have in mind for the second sheet are Texas, Minnesota and North Dakota(The Happy Hooligans).

Sounds good. I would like the MN ANG markings for my F-101B. I did get the F-5A sheet, and it is very nice. Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
-Doug :)
