Sweet - looks like there will be plenty of spark-varks on the go!

Would someone else with the Black Box pit for the EF-111A mind posting a pic or two of the rear bulkhead console at some stage? Mine was missing - I'll be scratchbuilding a replacement from references but a few pics of the part would also be helpful.

Thanks :trolls:

Can I get in? I've been working on the same F-111F for the past 100 years, and have only gotten the cockpit painted.

I plan to build the Academy 1/48 F-111E into an F using:

Verlinden detail set

Black Box cockpit

Flightpath Pave Tack

Scale Down wheels and 'cans

maybe CE intakes (might opt for covered intakes)

and finally lots of scratch building (wheel wells, pylons, etc).

So far, markings are between 494th ODS bird or a 493rd.

I had been holding out for decent markings, but with Ben of Fox One throwing in the towel, that was my last great hope.

You sure can, as long as you follow the GB Rules. I don't have a problem with it.

I don't know if I will be able to finish it, but a possible combination of the Hasegawa and Monogram kits to make an F-111K. 27 SQ. Cut some pieces off the sprue but haven't glued anything yet.

The F-111K was to have been basically an F-111C for the RAF.

It would have had Triple Plough I intakes and long wings.

For a whif AVQ-26 might have been possible, maybe they would have got to the RAF instead of the RAAF, but I think the weapons would have been as a Tornado.

Hi Guys

I'm in with another F-111K. This is to sit next to the TSR2 on the shelf between the Canberra and Tornado. Ahh what iff.

The basic kit will be Academy but as its a Wif I wont get carried away with After market bits. If the cockpit comes out OK I might try and get a canopy.

Following a previous thread on the board I had concluded the K would have short wings, 47" dia x 18" wide wheels, RWR receiver on the fin, full size gear door, Nose refuelling probe. Together with 617 markings for me anyway.

If you search the Jet forum for "F-111k" the thread contains all the discussion on wings as well as the serial numbers and a heap of other stuff from the ARC members.

Cheers

Oh yes, I must join this one. The intention is:

Zhengdefu FB-111 but built as an Aussie F-111G (25th Anniversary scheme, 1998) using Aussie decals but the rest OOB, and given the reputation Zhengdefu kits have here, I can only say that whatever happens next is in the lap of the gods..... :thumbsup:

F-111F

Academy 1/48

Aircraft Serial # 70-2389, the sole loss of the Libyan raids.

OOB with scratchbuilt additions.

Is it within GB rules to add aftermarket items should they become available during the build?

Yes, it is within the group build guideline to add any aftermarket item during your build.

Hasegawa F-111C (OOB as the Cam/white ARDU jet or a grey 90th Anniversary 1SQN jet) or perhaps an RF-111C from 6SQN

I also have a couple of kits to bash to attempt an FB-111H (here's hoping I can make something decent of it).

:cheers:
