I started this in 2013, almost finished the wings to add as a variation to my F111G, also some paint on the tail-planes and pylons and some modifications to the pavetac pod, good time to finish this one as well !

I remember F111's flying on exercises in NZ (that dates me), flat out at low level they were hugely impressive.
Thanks Allan

The Aussie Aardvark or as you prefer to say "Pig" is one I will do some day. Great kit, good start, though you stated you have been on this awhile. The AM bits you are using better than what is in the kit?
David Mills said 5 years, 7 months ago:

Allan they were RAAF F111's - 1984 - 'attacking' RNZAF - Whenuapai - cloud base was about 500 ft and I remember them coming up the runway at about 600 knots ( must have been - they were silent till they arrived) - my friend and I were studying for finals at the time.
Allan J Withers said 5 years, 7 months ago:

Chuck, no AM just scratching ! -------------

Thanks David, impressive aircraft !
Allan J Withers said 5 years, 7 months ago:

Some gloss white on these bits now !

A bit of progress on the undercarriage, some silver on the fans and the wings and fuselage drilled to hinge the wings to allow for a full range of sweep !
