This manufacturer also has resin BRUs for sale. The Hobby Boss A-10 has one accurate drop tank in each kit or you can purchase resin tanks from Scaledown/Ozmods. I was going to fit two tanks from my Academy kit but found these were also undersized. One disappointment was the inclusion of standard MERs in lieu of the unique streamlined BRUs carried by the F-111 and the inaccurate and undersized drop tanks. The kit comes with a myriad of weapons of which a lot were not carried by the F-111C.
F 111 COCKPIT FOR SALE UPDATE
The aircraft I represented was pre-avionics update so I fitted the tail stingers without the chaff and flare buckets fitted.įinally the weapons fit out was two GBU-10 and Two GBU-15 guided bombs. The decals were sourced from Aussie Decals for better accuracy. I used Xtracolor paints for the camouflage. Air Force training film (TF-6164b) from 1968, viewers learn about the ejection, recovery, and landing of the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark Cre. These represent the nozzles in the closed position. The afterburner nozzles were replaced with a set from Scaledown. I used a Black Box cockpit, which has a little better detail than the kit cockpit. The Air Force F-111A and Navy F-111B variants used the same airframe structural components and TF30-P-1 turbofan engines. The other issue in building an Aussie F-111C is the circular panel in front of the windscreen needs to be filled and eliminated totally and the strip formation lights need to be removed from the fuselage and fin. The replacement windscreen dropped straight in and only required some strips of 3mm plastic card to fill the void along the bottom edge. The Squadron vacuum formed canopy is a great and simple option. With twin engines, supermanueverability, and. Its impressive stats make for an exciting civilian aircraft. This military aircraft was built by the Russians to compete with the Fourth Generation F-14s and F-15s. The windscreen is too wide at the front and the centre beam curves too much front to back. Within the last decade, the Soviet-era Sukhoi SU-27 became an aircraft for sale to civilians. The kit does have its issues, which I am sure that most people will already know about, the main one being the shape of the windscreen.
This new release from Hobby Boss was one of the nicest kits that I have ever built as far as construction goes. Here is the Hobby Boss 1/48 scale F-111C. Hobby Boss' 1/48 scale F-111C is available online from
