Hobby Master 1/72 F-101C Voodoo "Robin Olds" 92nd TFS, 81st TFW Bentwaters 1964 Diecast Model Aircraft

The F-101A fighter-bomber had been accepted into Tactical Air Command (TAC) service despite a number of problems.

Among others, its airframe had proven to be capable of withstanding only 6.33 g (62 m/s²) maneuvers, rather than the intended 7.33 g (72 m/s²).An improved model, the F-101C, was introduced in 1957.

It had a 500 lb (227 kg) heavier structure to allow 7.33-g maneuvers as well as a revised fuel system to increase the maximum flight time in afterburner.Like the F-101A, it was also fitted with an underfuselage pylon for carrying nuclear weapons, as well as two hardpoints for 450-US-gallon (1,700 L) drop tanks. A total of 47 F101Cs were produced.
