AnthonyWan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 This kit - http://www.greatmodels.com/~smartcar...em_num=HB80352 How is it? I searched hobbyboss ef-111 and f-111 on here, but the search didn't quite yield favorable results - a little hard to believe since I know there's been alot of discussion no doubt on the "base" Hobbyboss F-111 at least... Also - does anyone know if decals exist for two Op. Desert Storm EF-111s namely 66-0050 "Mistress of Deception" based at Taif, Saudi Arabia and 66-0039 "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" based at Incirlick AB, Turkey? Thanks! -Awan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 The link doesn't work since you linked to your cart, but I assume you mean this kit http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10131392 Looks like it's the same as all of the other Hobbyboss F-111 with the misshapen canopy and other issues. Thy searching for Hobbyboss instead of F-111. The search engine doesn't like the use of the "-" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmanrick Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) I haven't actually seen the kit yet, but I imagine the only difference between the earlier HB 111A & E/F models will be the addition of the EF specific parts & decals. All the rest will be the same. In fact, the only difference between those two earlier models is decals. They include the same ordnance and all other bits, including the Pave Tack pod in both (which neither model was capable of using).

j-basset Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I've seen the kit upfront at a local hobby shop. It's essentially the F-111A kit with new sprues for the vertical tail, and the main EF-111A features, such as the canoe fairing, 2 blade antennas, 2 tear drop antennas and a new instrument panel. Most of the weapons sprues have not been included. The EF- specific parts are akin to what Academy did in their of the EF-111A. The decals look nice, but can't speak for accuracy.
