mcdonnell Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hello,Glynn - She may have fought you at times during the build but you certainly won the battle with this superb 'F-111'.I love the quality and detail of the painting and finishing work together with your chosen scheme.She portrays the brutal elegance of this iconic aircraft perfectly.Great work. 😉👍 All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone Phixer Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Fantastic work. Love it all, but the cockpit is a work of art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 She looks great Glynn. A very enjoyable build, if not entirely from your point of view, I think I will stick with Academy for my F-111 and like you I will never touch Hataka paints again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did enjoy the majority of it craig , gonna build that su24 to sit along side later in the year dont blame you on the paints, I'd swear it was bathroom ceiling emulsion bottled up ,hell they even mix special colours in b&q for you 18 hours ago, Phone Phixer said: Fantastic work.

Air-to-Air Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I like your camouflage work on this, and what you've done with the exhausts. And the bombs and cockpit. Yeah, pretty much everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
