alex_stela Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Here is my interpretation of F-111E serial 67-0120, 20th Fighter Wing USAF, Incirlik AB (Turkey), January 1991, Operation "Desert Storm". 1/48 Italeri kit (rebox of Academy); Eduard`s ZOOM PE set (for HobbyBoss kit) in cockpit; Master`s pitot tube; ALQ-131 ECM from Kinetic`s F-16 kit under fuselage. Lot of scratch work (esp. slats and flaps, canopy, changed gear bay cover etc.). Camo is painted with Lifecolors. Decals are from the box, but I`ve changed some things, because I wanted my "120" in "Desert Storm" scheme, without all those colorful additions that this aircraft usually had (and have now, because 67-0120 "The Chief" is preserved in Imperial War Museum, Duxford, UK). So here it is: Thanks for watching! Edited November 2, 2020 by alex_stela new links to photos 72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serkan Sen Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Absolutely a masterpiece. I am wondering how you managed to build high lift devices deployed on this kit. 🤔 Serkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
