Somehow I managed to finish another aircraft model this month. This is the Heller 1/72 scale F-94 kit I got as a bagged kit for free. I apologize for the poor photography; I can't seem to get my camera or phone to take decent pics no matter what I do. These are the two best pics I can show:
Hopefully I'll get some better pics later, until then comments are welcome, thanks for looking in.

Nice finish Mark, and congrats on getting one more in before the end of the year!
The nose radome should either be in flat black or off white fiberglass instead of NMF like the rest of the airframe

Re: The Duke's Second Aircraft in December
I like it Mark, but yeah, touch up that radome. I watched a youtube video the other day comparing the relative effectiveness of the F-86D, F-94, MiG 17PF, and several other interceptors defending against a TU-16 and though the F-86D got there first, the F-94 was more likely to get the kill because of the two man crew and how that aided positioning for the intercept. This was before the DEW line was built if I understood it correctly.

Looks good. Those old Heller kits were nice. Lacking in detail but lots of subjects

Re: The Duke's Second Aircraft in December
Thank you Carlos! Amazingly enough, the instructions never mentioned painting the radome. I'll get right on that.
Thank you John! I will touch that up, I didn't know it should have been painted. Great information about the intercept; I love reading things like that!
Thank you Tempest Johnny! Yeah, I decided to dive right into this old Heller kit since it was so fast and (relatively) easy to build.
