trickyrich Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 we just need 8 more interested parties and this one will be a goer!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Of course the real issue is... which kit to get? I've done some googling, and apparently they're all a bit pants, even the almost completely unavailable Hasegawa 1/72th versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 I like this.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/KORA-Models-1-72-MER-RACKS-Mk-82-SNAKEYE-BOMBS-Extra-Heavy-Load-for-F-111A-/381474227489?hash=item58d1a2c521:g:Nk4AAOSwAKxWUoEy They did this a couple of time while I was there, big thing is they were too scared to tow it with a loadout like this! So the aircraft was positioned and the gunnies would load her up, would prematurely grey the framie bosses! Would have needed a "Fast & Furious 6" runway to take off!

PhantomBigStu Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 If there was an easily acquirable 111 in 1/72 I might vote for this, still maybe will get lucky on ebay if this does happen, do like the 111, have 4 of the hobbymaster diecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks for the offer -Neu- guessing this will won't happen till 2017 so plenty of time to track one down....and on that note perhaps I should go on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 well a big thank you to everyone who signed up, looks like this one will be a goer as well. I for one can't wait for this build...have always wanted to build one but never got around to it...so mine for sure will be an 80"s vintage 6 Sqn bird! Now why would I choose that??? Will have dates once Mish has has had a chance to look at the calendar.....keeping her busy today! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eht1418 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 No time to join in this GB, but I thought I'd share some of my previous efforts at the -111. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Well, time to dust off the Hasegawa kits, what to build? F-111B, F-111C, F-111E, F-111G/FB-111A, or perhaps a kit bashed FB-111H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hopefully in the long interim hasegawa will rerelease their kit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 It's not so rare, I know about a Japanese dealer or two on eBay who propose them from time to time at a reasonnable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 I've seen a few of the Hasegawa ones floating about on evilBay for fairly good prices. I'm going big so now have to decide on either an Academy or Hobby Boss C model. Don't know too much about either, thought I have read the HB one is better, but the canopy is the wrong shape, but easily fixed with the Squadron (?) replacement. Does anyone know much about either of these models? Will be throwing a lot of aftermarket stuff at it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 There is a build report of the Hobby Boss kit on Cybermodeller which seems to be pretty informative: http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/hb/build_hb_80348.shtml So it is not just the canopy it seems but I am sure you will solve all issues Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 I know what the issues are so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Can't wait for this GB to start!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
