Dave Williams Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Just now, cruiz said: Arnaud, you seem to search in my models' stash for all the accessories I need for them. Are you referring to the mid-section with the wrong reversed tapering? Or are there more errors? Either way is a good idea. Pretty much the reverse taper issue. There are probably other errors, but that’s the big one for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Triple Plow I seamless intakes for the F-111A, EF-111A, F-111C and RF-111C (plus one FB-111A!): RF-111C recce pack (pre-cut clear windows will be included of course): Here is the link for the Ardvaark fans https://bam-models.com/product-category/f-111/ Thanks for looking, Arnaud Wow! Any plans for wheel well that will be compatible with the intakes? Any plans for TPIII intakes for the F-111D/E/F? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 The main wheel well of the HobbyBoss F-111 is incorrect, it's square. On the real jet, the wheel well sidewalls are actually the intake sides and they are curved more towards the center of the aircraft at the back end of the wheel well.

I'm not sure if I want to go there as it would probably be a huge investment (pipes and cables are a pain in the neck to replicate in 3D) but let's have a look!

arnobiz Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 Thanks. I was asking if you had non-public references, I already explored public sources quite a lot to develop the intakes 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichB63 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Thanks for doing these…I’ll be ordering a couple of sets of the intakes! 👍 Edited June 4, 2023 by RichB63 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are many errors with the HB F-111 wings… incorrect wingtip shape, flap spans, flap & slat actuator positions… and more. A complete accurate wing is really needed.

Darren Roberts Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I totally missed the survey about ideas, but I'll go ahead and throw mine out there. How about an E-2D conversion? I've got a Powerpoint that shows all the changes if reference is needed. The Kinetic E-2C 2000 kit can be used as the base kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, the new Super Mystère B2 kit from FRROM/Special Hobby is very nice, and a welcome addition to the range. I've been busy working on a much better-detailed exhaust as well as a seamless intake, which are both nearly ready now Edited September 2, 2023 by arnobiz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
