phasephantomphixer Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Which of the F-111 line is closest to EF-111 as far as short wing, plate style intake? I know of the other differences - Thanks. Edited July 1, 2013 by phasephantomphixer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robonth Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hello sir, If I'm not mistaken, EF-111As where modified from F-111As. All the other F-111 models (except F-111Cs)had the triple plow II intakes. Cheers Robert-Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phasephantomphixer Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Thanks guys, I found my "in action" book and it somewhat explains things too. I can convert some of my stack of Hasegawa 1/72 EF-111's (7) to Vietnam A since I have the regular bomb bay door pan. The only other area I see is to sand off the doubler strips aft of the intakes, and remove the (chaff?) blisters forward of the Elevons. Then backdate inst. panel. The rest of the parts come with the kit-even weapons pylons. Not that I don't like the EF, just don't need to have 7. Have other kit types to use as a guide as well.

Glad I got the Two Bobs sheet back in the day-Thanks Guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I did the same, about 15 years ago they repop'd the EF-111 kit, I bought a load and bought a load of the "missing" sprues to make them into F-111F's direct from hasegawa... Another build project that never got past the "now all I have to do is build them" stage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
