One of the Cold War's first all-weather interceptors was the Lockheed F-94 Starfire. Developed from the T-33 (which was itself a development of the F-80), the F-94 served Air Defence Command throughout the 1950s. Here is a little vignette starring an F-94C and its ground support equipment.

Nicely built and finished F-94C. Glad to hear that the decals had no issues, especially laying down over the wing tanks.

I have one waiting in the wings, but just never seem to get around to building it.

Hi Larry

Really nice! That's a really effective vignette with the figures and support vehicles clustered around. The Starfire was an amazing debut kit from Kitty Hawk. I made a start on mine but, as is all to often the case, the constant influx of items meant I had to put it on one side. I really should dig it out again to carry on with...

Keep 'em coming and all the best

Thanks for the kind words! The only thing I should have put in the Article is that the Kitty Hawk Plastic is pretty soft, so any sanding or shaping will require rescribing.
