The Pavla pit fits very well, only a few parts of the fuselage need to be removed.

The Pavla cockpit fits very well, it's only necessary to remove the socket at the front end to give place to the wheel well.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/8/9/2/838892-18052-35-720.jpg)
For support a piece of plastic sheet was glued in place.

![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/8/9/4/838894-18052-91-720.jpg)

![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/8/9/1/838891-18052-64-720.jpg)
Another reworked detail.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/8/9/7/838897-18052-36-720.jpg)
The main gear bays lacks of any sidewalls, so I decided to close at least the biggest gaps.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/8/9/5/838895-18052-47-720.jpg)
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/8/9/8/838898-18052-98-720.jpg)

![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/5/3/3/846533-18052-35-720.jpg)
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/5/3/4/846534-18052-29-720.jpg)
The main wheel wells got a wash with black oil colors.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/5/3/5/846535-18052-82-720.jpg)
After joining the wing parts and the splitter plate a step on the upper side appeared.
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/5/3/6/846536-18052-81-720.jpg)
After sanding and filling and sanding everything turns out okay.
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/5/3/7/846537-18052-41-720.jpg)
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/5/3/8/846538-18052-42-720.jpg)
The kit parts for the Air-2 Genie looks okay but need a little improvement.
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/4/2/0/847420-18052-83-720.jpg)
Finished the "Nukes" for the Voodoo, painted after a photo from Canadian museum.
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/0/5/8/857058-18052-84-720.jpg)
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/0/5/9/857059-18052-19-720.jpg)
Fuselage and wings are finally joined.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/0/6/0/857060-18052-57-720.jpg)
The gap on the upper side was easily closed under some pressure using Tamiya Extra Thin Cement and Mr.Surfacer 1000.
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/0/6/1/857061-18052-67-720.jpg)
The air scoops needed some rework, no great deal but good effect.
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/0/6/3/857063-18052-50-720.jpg)
The fitting to the fuselage was not the best, so some filling and sanding was required.
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/0/6/2/857062-18052-31-720.jpg)
The engine nozzles lacking any further details and there are no replacements on the aftermarket. I rebuilt the iner section from wire end ferrule and copper rod, the outer part was only sanded a bit thinner.
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/0/6/4/857064-18052-58-720.jpg)
Painted the parts with different shades of Alclad II.

Thanks guys.
Little update today, finished the wings and also nearly done with the fuselage. Next to this i tried to improve the Air-2 Genies from the kit.

Right, these were nuclear Air-to-Air-Missiles, they should destroy a whole bombe group at once. I´m glad this never happened.

Thanks for the pic, shape looks a bit different to most other Genie pictures. I went mostley after this phot from Air Defence Museum in Bagotville. [img1]

I guess the fin extensions were only deployed after launch. I have never seen these on any Genie model missiles.

Hi Daniel: In previous life I was a Weapons Technician in the CAF. I was with 409 SQN in the 1980s.
I had hands experience with both the AIM-4D and the AIR-2A. I was "C" man which means I "drove" the AIR-2A on its trailer. Combined rocket and trailer weight was a 1,000 LBs. With the B man we loaded the AIM-4D by hand.
Note this kit has the AIM-4G missile. We used AIM-4Ds. Hannants has two nice after market two AIM-4D options.
Mike Belcher has a nice CF-101 decal sheet. Feel free to finish your kit as a 409 SQN aircraft. 🙂

Thanks for building a Canadian Voodoo.

Hi Carl.
Nice to get input from the first hand. I will not pay any attention on the Falcon, I´ll only use the Genies and clue the movable parts from the weapon bay in place.
I allready have the sheet from Belcher Bits here, ordered directly from him, great service and very fast shipping to Austria.
Greetings to Canada, I hope you stay tuned.

Hi Daniel:
Mike is awesome. I have lots of his sheets. I will be watching your build.
Here is a photo of an AIR-2A on the trailer. I'm not in the photo but some of armorers I worked with are.

One other item detail. There are two wires which hold the fins in. The rocket will quickly burn through them and the fins extend.
This the best photo I can find showing the wires. Can be made from heated sprue.

Carl, in that photo the armourers are getting pretty close to the undercarraige door. "Dink!" Typical flippin' Plumbers, making more work for the Riggers! 🙂
