1/72 Hasegawa F-111E "The Chief"

welcome aboard Mark, glad you could join us.

 

There is quite a lot to the Hasegawa model, just wished they had upscaled it! There's a big gap in accurate 1/48th F-111's! 

 

Well good luck with the build, hope it's a trouble free one and look forward to seeing her in the galley at the end.

The canopy has been dipped in floor wax and is off to the side drying.

 

I painted the cockpit with Tamiya XF-54 (Dark Gull Grey) but it looks too dark to me.   I'm debating whether to leave it as is or strip it and try again.

  • Mark Turk changed the title to 1/72 Hasegawa F-111E "The Chief"

Canopy was dipped in floor polish and allowed to dry for a week before masking.  Canopy was installed and forward fuselage was joined to lower after fuslelage.
