Valom 72131 McDonnell RF-101C Voodoo "Sun Run" 1/72

The plastic model kit Valom 72131 McDonnell RF-101C Voodoo "Sun Run" in 1/72 scale is a unique offer for aviation modelers interested in Cold War-era aviation. The model faithfully replicates the American reconnaissance aircraft designed by McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, which was widely used by the United States Air Force. The presented RF-101C version was a specialized reconnaissance variant, and the "Sun Run" edition refers to a specific operation involving reconnaissance flights over the Soviet Union to monitor the construction of Soviet ballistic missiles.

McDonnell RF-101C Voodoo was actively used from the mid-1950s until the end of the Vietnam War (1957-1979, Cold War). The C version of the aircraft featured advanced photographic equipment, long-range capability, and the ability to carry out supersonic missions. The RF-101C played a key role during the Vietnam conflict, conducting photographic reconnaissance of enemy territory. Operation "Sun Run" was the first official high-altitude reconnaissance flight over Eastern Europe.
