1:72 RF-101C 45 TRS 'Polka Dots' (wet decals)

The long-nosed RF-101C Voodoo was the first combat aircraft in Southeast Asia as part of an operational unit in October 1961. The Voodoo did a superb job of photographing the Pathet Lao and Viet Cong. The RF-101C’s speed made it largely immune to MiG interception. The Voodoos perform a complex missions in some 35,000 sorties over 9 years, 39 RF-101C aircraft were lost, 33 in combat including five to SA-2 Guideline SAMs, one to an airfield attack, and one in air combat to a MiG-21 in September 1967. 27 of the combat losses occurred on reconnaissance missions over North Vietnam. RF-101C Voodoo wears standard T.O. 1-1-4 SEA camouflage and the white AH tail code assigned to the 45th TRS 'Polka Dots', part of the 460th TRW, at Tan Son Nhut. In 1970, RF-101 were replaced by new RF-4C
