Exterminatus Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Thank you for your kind comments!! The Vark is painted with the Gunze C SEA colors - Green C309, Green C303 and Brown C310. As for the Pave Tack and bomb bay reference photos, there really isn't much to be found on the internet. For anyone who's interested I've uploaded my reference pics to Photobucket: http://s1142.photobucket.com/user/doggie242/library/Aardwark/ref. Most of the credit goes to Jim Rotramel! The WIP thread is here: http://www.modelari.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1699. Sorry, czech language only Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimitar F1 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I agree with all other comments here - that is stunning. Looking carefully at the detail shots I am struggling to see how you went about making up the parts. How did you make the two 'Dishes' on the UC door/airbrake also how did you deepen the canopy framework? Could you share any details or is there a WIP? will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Wow that is the best F-111 model that I have ever seen,......superb! I remember these lobbing into Brize in pairs landings when I was stationed there and living right next to the runway, plus they used to come in to land right over the railway while catching the train home from Oxford station,.... must have been Upper Heyford. Brilliant job, well done Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czech language only, sorry Canopy framing comes with the Verlinden detail set. As for the UC door dishes, it is very easy, I made it of the plastic sheet heated up and formed around a ball of appropriate diameter.. Thanks for the comments!

Filler Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I've already commented once on how amazing this is and I just can't help coming back for another look. I've seen incredible builds of this Academy kit before, but this is just another level. I have this kit and a mountain of extras myself but I can't see me ever building it as I will never get anywhere close to this, not in eleven years yet alone months!
