Miscellaneous
Here are a few miscellaneous aircraft photos from my collection that I’ve been adding to for over 30 years.
The F-111 Channel at iModeler
General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark
Tamiya 1/48 F-14A Tomcat/ “Miss Molly”… VF-111 “Sundowners”
the Grumman F-14 Tomcat was the US Navy's primary fighter for 35 years from the early 70's till 2006...it came out of Mcnamara's failed F-111 project...in fact from the intakes back the F14 is the F-111 though the Navy added the second tail for[...]
H-208 revisited, Revell F-111B 1/72
The ancient kit gave you the choice of the USAF ' A ' or the Navy 'B', and working landing gear ,I was going to glue them down but my shaky fingers couldn't get it done, so gear up. I've done this kit when I was younger, the gear can be made to [...]
“What If” F-111K RAF
I'm not a great one for "what if" modelling, but I made an exception on this because this so nearly DID happen. When the Labour party cancelled the TSR2 (the best strike aircraft the RAF never had) they then bought into the American F111 project[...]
Assorted Cold War Warriors – 1/1
Here are some assorted photos dad took at various locations when he stumbled upon interesting aircraft. Whenever I asked him if there were any aircraft he always wanted to fly that he never got a chance to, the F-86 and P-51 are the two he ment[...]
Italeri 1/72 F-111A Aardvark
Built OOB except added crew, and swapped out 1000 lb iron bombs for r******d bombs. Was a pretty nice kit - a bit difficult to get the exhaust nozzles snuggled up next to the fuselage once everything was put together. I used a panel line wash a[...]

General Dynamics F 111G, A8-274, 6 Sqn RAAF Amberly Qld 1999.
1/72 Hasegawa, my first F 111, with 24 Mk 82 500 lb bombs from their weapons set 1, finished in Model Master enamels and I think their acrylic flat clear, no that's wrong, Tamiya X22 with X21 flat base, the kit came with this scheme but I used A[...]
1/48 Hobby Boss F-111C RAAF 1SQN
Hey Guys,
Finished today, i have my 1/48 Hobby Boss F-111C done in Aussie markings, the kit goes together great and looks amazing when complete, the detail is brilliant, i have used Eduard interior and exterior sets and also some aftermarket se[...]
1/72 Revell F-111 (prototype)
While the others were old, this one is ancient. Some of you will remember Revell's "frameable box art" series. This was one of those. Accurate or not , how often do you get to do a Navy "Vaark", especially one with moveable wings ! Not a b[...]
