'Balls One' gets airborne

[DaveQ]

Assigned to 78th TFS 'The Bushmasters', 56-0001, the pioneer F-101C lifts off Bentwaters circa 1960. Known as 'Balls One' it was flown by Col. Robin Olds during his time as CO of 81st TFW and later converted to RF-101H configuration serving with the Kentucky ANG. Now guards the gate at Louisville International.

This is one of a series of Voodoo skins I'm working on; was hoping to publish some this week but computer gremlins have screwed things up.

Excellent work Dave. Looking forward to your skins as you complete them.:salute:

I'm looking forward to all new skins for the Alphasim Voodoo. The old ones just aren't sharp enough!

Most excellent Dave!!

Hey, remember that blue/white Polka dots (45th TRS) paint? That's my favourite RF-101 paint you did. I hope you'll revisit the RF model too ... she's a sweet bird!

Here's an interesting forum post on the subject ... http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/i...howtopic=33240

Those are them Dave. I love that 45th - right now, it's the sole RF-101 in my hangar, I love it so much. But that SEA paint looks nice too - will definitely pick it up once it's done. You're a real artist, sir!
