Thank you! Thanks to all who replied. Now I have an azimuth to follow!

Any information on this, nomenclature, dimensions, and does anyone make one in 1/48th? I have the Furball decal sheet to do this aircraft, and would like to build it as pictured. Thanks!

Just to add to the subject, Here are, top to bottom, Academy/Zheng, Ozmods Conv4803, Monogram A-10, and Reskit RSU48-0449.

Roger that. I had no idea there was a difference in the fin spread between variants. I learn something new every day. Ozmods offered 2 different sets of tanks for the F-111 series, OZConv4803, mentioned above, and SDA48001, which I would guess stands for ScaleDown, and are def longer per your picture. Thanks! Caracal decals had a Pave Tack pod 3D printed. Have you seen it?

Hi Jim, I printed this picture a few years ago, and that's where all my notes regarding the tanks are! The Scaledown tanks look about right, but are a bit rare, plus the bonus with the Reskit tanks are that they are hollow, thus MUCH lighter, so that should help keep the dreaded wing droop at bay. The Reskit tanks are a recent add to their 'Vark catalog, and I was happy to find them. PS Will you ever do a Mr Vark Tales book, to include your flying stories and hints & tips for us who just want to build a decent kit? Your EDC book was terrific!

They got it right!!!! Hello dear Sir, Thank you very much for contacting us and for your interest in our products! We are happy to help you with your request on dimensions of RSU48-0449. Please, find the pictures attached. Main measurements are: Tank length - 159,14mm (6.26 in) Tank diameter - 16.46mm (0.63 in) "Container" width and height (brutto dimensions, if needed) - 20.25mm (0.79in). Hopefully it'll help with your project. Kindest regards, Team Reskit.

I see Reskit now has F-111 tanks for sale, does anyone have a set to measure? I got a set from OzMods (OZCONV4803) that are a resin copy of the Academy tanks, and both are too small - by a lot. Best I found is the real tanks are 299 inches long, roughly 6 1/4" Academy - 5 1/8" Monogram A-10 - 5 7/8" Input is always welcome.

I picked this kit up recently, and would recommend getting either the Nautilus fuselage brace(Wood), or the 3D printed one from Flying Leatherneck. I got the 3D one, and it is worth every penny! Now, if someone would just do something about that hump...

I ordered some 1/48th ordnance, M-118x2, SUU-30x2, LAU-10x2 from MPM in '23, and it came quickly, and seem to be well made and detailed. My experience, I am in no affiliated with them.

Just want to share what I picked up over the weekend; Punch right sized holes in aluminum foil, then put on a drop of UV glue, then cure! Brilliant!

MV Lenses were very nice, but now out of production, right? Little-lenses from the UK are no longer being made - SO - Does anybody make Clear and Colored lenses anymore?

Those are BRUs

Looks Great! Thank you!

Any sneak peeks of the Dark Vipers V?
