The F-111 is an impressive aircraft and my favorite is this one, the RAAF  “C” version.  I think this scheme is not in use anymore but I like it more than the modern grey.  It was a seven month project. The Academy kit is quite basic but not bad, however I wanted to improve it because an F-111 is worthwhile and there are enough aftermarket.  These were the improvements:

• Verlinden, F-111 update set (with some modifications)

• Scaledown, long wings with flaps and slats

• Aussie Decals

• Hasegawa, pilot figure

• From scratch, wing gloves

I also plan for the next summer the same F-111 version in 1/144 scale. It is my dream that Trumpeter or Revell (or any other) release this beautiful bird in 1/32 scale (WOW!!)

All the pictures were taken in the garage. It was a good and sunny day.
