1/72 Heller Humbrol F-94

Gallery Article by Edward Boyd on Aug 24 2010

 

F-94 built essentially OOB.  Mostly Humbrol paint with some Testors for detail.  Decals a mixture of kit, Superscale and spares to arrive at the desired serial number.  An easy build resplendent in the arctic recognition colors of the era.

In the mid '50s my parents gave me a copy of "The Jet Aircraft of the World" by Green and Cross which was read and reread almost to exhaustion.
Included in that book was a spread on pages 98-99 detailing the Douglas F-94 Starfire.  Included as part of that spread was a photograph of FA-912 and a line drawing of the same aircraft which forever etched in my mind the definitive image of the F-94.  

Years later when I acquired the Heller Humbrol kit there was never any doubt as to the color scheme and serial number that would be employed.
