  1. Greetings from the beautiful island of Malta, right in the heart of the Mediterranean! I present to you my HobbyBoss 1:48 General Dynamics F-111C Aardvark, which was built using the FB-111A tooling with decals from Hawkeye Models. The kit is painted as Aardvark A8-132, which began flying as a test platform with the RAAF's Aircraft Research & Development Unit (ARDU) from 1979 to 1998. The Pig now sits on public display at the South Australian Aviation Museum in Port Adelaide, Australia. One fun fact about this airplane was that 132 participated in the 2007 Red Flag exercise while wearing the overall grey colour scheme, in which she flew with No.1 Squadron RAAF, the ‘Fighting First’. A website article and build video can be accessed via these links here: https://malcsmodels.wordpress.com/2024/03/30/building-hobbybosss-148-f-111c-aardvark/ In April 2024, I participated in a model exhibition organised by my local IPMS on the island at the Malta Maritime Museum in Birgu with the 111, where I was presented with the Medal for the Highly-Commended Award.
  2. Hi all, After 10 months and a few hours on Sunday afternoon it's finally done. This has been built for a friend as a thankyou for some bits and pieces that he helped me out with in 2012. Gary H...I hope you like it mate! The aircraft represents A8-127 from 1 Squadron circa the mid 70's well before the Pavetack and AUP programs were implemented. The gun fairing is installed. Of note is that during this period the squadrons had not yet applies squadron specific markings hence why the tail is vacant of advertising. Sadly, this aircraft along with her crew was lost on the 13th of September 1993 near Guyra in New South Wales. A brief summary. The kit is the venerable original boxing of the Hasegawa RAAF F-111C. Some modifications(albeit small) have been made and they are mainly in the cockpit. The pilot side canopy has been cut open and the internal framing added. A new instrument panel was built to represent the aircraft at the time as the kit only supplies a decal which is inaccurate for the C. A simple case of copying the pattern of the kit IP and then drilling holes in it and scoring lines to represent the instrument sections. A radar scope and radar hood have also been as well as well as throttles which are normally represented by the kit decal. Paints are Gunze Acrylics and decals are 23 year old kit decals which silvered a bit unfortunately. The exhausts are various shades of Alclad with Tamiya weathering pastels and graphite applied. The 500lb Mk 82's are sourced from the Hasegawa X-72-1 Weapons set. Here she is in all of her glory with the canopy glue for the open cockpit still drying. Hope you like her. Cheers Mick
