Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 *** This is not GB entry, I thought I would pop it here to be with all its friends :D. My actual entry will be started shortly I got this model about 6 years ago. It was one of the original promotional desktop models given out by General Dynamics at the beginning of the F-111C program (I believe). I had been damaged and repaired by the owner and then passed on to an ACTSMS members to repair the repairs. I was told the owner passed away and the model no longer had a home. I was offered the model so I grabbed it to refurbish it. So I eagerly started to refurbish it Then in my usual way I had issues with the repaint and put it aside for about 5 years. So I masked up the base coat and got back into it The stand was repaired as well and repainted Masking removed. And now it is re-decalled, I used the Southern Sky 'Final F-111 Scheme 2010 ' sheet for this. I just need to repair a broken intake splitter plate and seal the decals and it will be finished 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 That's a really nice refurb Ray. I had forgotten that you are in ACT, so am I now . It's good that the original stand is restored too. Lovely work. TonyT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Very nice and glad you started a thread for her. My only concern is why did she have to be GREY!!! You know the only good F-111C's were in the SEA scheme! No, I'm glad you resurrected her, you did a great job, well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I did not have any 1/48 SEA scheme decals, so I pushed on with what I had. Don't worry Rich, one of my 1/72 Hasegawa builds will be in the SEA scheme 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
