Well done Stuart and congratulations on being the first one into the gallery!

 

Great job on her and even I'll have to admit she doesn't look too bad in grey! :D

 

I hope you enjoyed the build and it was great to have you along.

Thanks Guys, was enjoyable and not bad for my first 'vark! Ive got quite a few more in the stash (every boxking and multiples of the greenies') so i think another is on the cards. Might even fit another in this GB but we will see as i have a few other kites on the go for other GB's at the moment.

 

I must say that i think a RAAF 'vark is better looking than a USAF one. :)

A great result Stuart, and I am not sure if it matters to you but it may save someone else, F-111Cs did not have the yellow formation light strips. The RAAF F-1111Gs did.

 

Some of the RAAF F-111Cs sometimes had an engine door that was cannibalised from a G model, in which case the strip light on the engine panel was present, but the lights on the tail and upper fuselage were not,

 

cheers,

Nice finish there. I have a bit of a soft spot for 113, my Father was involved in bringing both 113 and 114 over from America when we acquired the A models as attrition replacements back in 1982.
