beppe Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi, I am looking for a drawing or diagram of the F-111 gun cover. The scope is to scratch built it in 1/72 Cheers, Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Modeller's Data File 19 - General Dynamics F-111 published by SAM Publications has a set of 1/72 & 1/48 plans which include the gun. Basically imagine a thin half droptank on the centreline and contained within the central panel line markings for roughly the forward half of the weapons bay doors rounded at the rear and slightly sharper to the front for the gun muzzle. Pretty certain that the part was included with the Esci F-111A and with some at least of the Hasegawa kits. AMENDED In view of the excellent information in the next post best to disregard any information based on the MDF19 plans as the locations and shape of the actual gun fairing published is wrong however a quick search since has confirmed my thought that the kits mentioned did contain 'the' (or at least 'a') fairing.
