joeltc Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Here is my 1/72nd Hasegawa F-111F. I usually only build in 1/48 but the amount of work required to update and correct either the Academy or Hobbyboss kits is way to expensive and time consuming for my liking. Hopefully one day someone will give us a Tamiya/ Hasegawa/ AMK etc etc standard kit one day. This is an older build I completed in around 08-09. For aftermarket I added Verlindens cockpit update, Master Model pitot and various weapons from Hasegawa 1/72 weapons sets. Decals are a mixture of Superscale, Xtradecal and the kit decals. Painting was done with the long out of production Aeromaster Warbird acrylics and Tamiya acrylics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Very nice, does the kit come with the pylon shoulder mounted Sidewinder rails? Or did you scratch them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just to clarify, the Hasy kits all came with BRU's, the unique "MER's" to the 111 family. and, BTW, very nice results! DET1460 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But it does have slots inside the fuselage for fully extended and for swept halfway but not swept back. So if you wanted you would have to modify the wings to have the wings swept half way or fully back. As for the pylons the holes that the pylons pivot on are pre drilled but for swept half way and swept back there are indentations for locating pins so you can drill them out. The load out I modelled mine on was from the early to mid 80s since the picture I was working from was taken around that timeframe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
