SteveV22FE Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Here are the CE Seamless Sucker intakes in place. These were pretty easy to install!! They make a BIG difference over the kit intakes! Edited May 4, 2008 by SteveV22FE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveV22FE Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Everything just kind of sitting in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nimrod77 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Good start mate! Keep the pics coming! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveV22FE Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Here are the Nose and Main Landing gear assemblies. The nose landing gear is stock Academy. The main landing gear is Academy, but the main landing gear wheels are Monogram/Academy. Academy got the wheels wrong. The F-111 has a very pronounced lip on the main landing gear wheel hub. The Monogram kit represents this correctly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dax Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 The F-111 has a very pronounced lip on the main landing gear wheel hub. The Monogram kit represents this correctly. Monogram/Academy? Which one is that? Excellent start- the pilots look great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sea-monkey Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Looking good! Wish mine was at this stage - gonna be a while yet. What markings are you doing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveV22FE Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Sorry for no updates. I am involved with a 1/48 B-17G build for my wifes grandfathers birthday. He was a ball turret gunner in WWII. We thought he would enjoy "getting" his old plane back. F-111 updates soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
