EF-111A intake trunk colors help.

[WARDOG]

Hi All,

 

Anybody know how far the light gray (FS36492 Dawn Gray)  extends into the intake trunking of the EF-111A?  Good walkaround pictures are hard to come by and it's hard to tell.  I know it's not like the white used on the say, Aussie F-111C which begins at the intake cowls and goes to the first-stage compressor face.

 

All help appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

 

Thanks for the fast response!

 

I actually got a response from Mr. Vark himself and he definitely answered the question with beautiful photographic evidence.

 

Cheers and Stay Well,

And out of curiosity, what is the answer and verdict?

I have one myself waiting to built ( and that someone comes along with Tripple Plow 1 intakes in 48th...

Hi Exdragon,

 

The fuselage color of FS36492 DOES extend from the lip of the intake all the way to the first-stage compressor blades.

 

Now, I just have to decide if I'm going to use one of my old tins of Xtracolor or Compucolour paints! 🙂

 

Hope this helps,
