Hi Andy,

Its been a bit of a pig lots of sanding, so far lots of flash, some filling to do before I get some colour on , well some low viz,

to be honest never done a Academy kit before so am not sure if this normal or I have maybe a bad one ?

Hi there I am new to this forum and I would like to post pictures , however I ve managed to register with photobucket and can t seem to post any pics on here . Is there any one that can help me maybe step by step , would be very much appreciated . Thanks

Hi mate,if you have a photobucket account it should be reasonably easy,

normally you just open thd picture you want to post right click on the section that says "IMG" (for forums/boards)

Then come here open a new post and left click to post the img link to photo bucket that shouldnbe it!

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.

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. Edited by fallmonk

Bit of progress (freezing cold in the shed isnt good for modeling lol)

Done some over the holiday season , not sure if i can put the fuel/ferry tanks on the line up of the movable pylons isnt true! will look at it in daylight and take it from there , still to put on the pitot tube, and re fab some new radar ants as i broke the top one.
