Mhoupt Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Nice job on the build. One thing for you, only FB-111A/C aircraft used three pylons on the wings. The other variants used two on each wing. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallmonk Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Nice job on the build. One thing for you, only FB-111A/C aircraft used three pylons on the wings. The other variants used two on each wing. Mark Thank You Mhoupt, I never knew that, and instructions never mentioned that, just done a google search looks like it's the two inner pylons that stay and the outer's that go.

Tomjw Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 You've done a great job taming this beast, and the notorious step where the front fuselage meets the centre fuse. Cheers, Tom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
