Creepy Pete Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hi all, Here's my 1/72 Hasegawa F-111D that I just finished. I used some Eduard PE on it, mainly in the cockpit, and used a mix of Superscale and kit decals. Painted with Gunze and Tamiya. I wanted to add a pair of Eduard AIM-9's, but those PE fins are really testing my patience and skills, so they might be added later. And the cockpit during construction: Thanks for looking. 45 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Great looking build you have done there. How did you do the camouflage did you use available masks or do it another way and also the panel lines are very subtlety done.

Greg Law Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Excellent build. I have always liked the F-111. Partially the Australian ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Beautifully turned out. I feel your your pain with PE rocket fins. Had the same problem on my Skyraider. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a pencil to draw the pattern on the model, and then rolls of white tack for masking. Nothing fancy. The panellines were done with a light pastel wash. 37 minutes ago, Romeo Alpha Yankee said: Nicely done Pete, just wondering what colour you used for the wheel wells and landing gears struts? Thank you. I just used white paint (Tamiya) on the wells and struts. The wheels were done with aluminium paint, but on the real ones white was used as well. Just check your refs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because Hasegawa put it in the same box as the F, which did see combat, so that is a more popular subject to build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
