Does anyone know if someone has made a kit for Raytheon's famous Voodoo 1? I've photographed their modified B727 landing at LAX, but would love to have a scale version of it.



Thanks,
Chris M.

It shouldn't be terribly difficult to convert a regular 727, and either the Airfix or Minicraft kits are widely available. From what I can see, you'd need a new nose plus a few lumps and bumps, depending upon which test equipment you want it to be carrying.

I'd think that the back of a Phantom's centerline tank is about the right shape to become the new nose.

Thanks. That's the backup plan if I can't find just a single kit to do it. On the real aircraft, the nose is from an F-15.
