Morning all, with the model bench clear….and tidy😂, it’s time to start some lunacy, and make good on a promise to Nick Greenall made many years ago ( @NG899 I haven’t forgotten😉)

 

So I have loads of references but was wondering if anyone has access to the airframe maintenance manuals for the GR3 (and FA2) as the illustrations are a godsend for scratch building. 
 

Many thanks.

Thanks for posting those John. I have a few kits from 1/24th scale Airfix original to the Tamyia, Hasegawa in both 1/48th and 1/72nd scale plus a Revell original 1/32nd scale in the stash. Great information for scratch building. Thanks again.

All The Best,

Ron VanDerwarker

That’s epic, thank you so much. Can you keep them coming please. Looking to really bring the kit up to muster. 
 

Cheers Si 

No problems lad's. Do you have any specific areas of interest?

Hello John,

I would probably try to show it in a aircraft phase with panels removed and opened. One of the F-111 dioramas I have in the planning and buying supplies stage is just that. A F-111D in a minor phase from the last squadron I was attached to.

 

All The Best,

Hi John,

I’m going to re-work the kit, so…

 

The undercarriage and wheel wells, including the outriggers. 

The cockpit, canopy and seat.

The reaction controls.

Intakes + cowling in front of the compressor face and bleed doors.

The tail/elevator area

Wing vortex generators and fences.

Nozzles and heat shields.

 

And anything else if you think it would help.

 

Many thanks again John.

 

cheers Si
