F-111 Work In Progress
Ever since I completed my F-105, I've been thinking about other aircraft that I could build in the Southeast Asia camouflage. One classic jet that is still missing from my collection is the F-111. My friend Ed had a rather nice one, which was part of the reason why I didn't, but he doesn't have it any more. My model is inspired by his, but with a number of substantial differences, besides the camouflage, so that is where I started.
I normally start with the difficult bits, and usually, that is the nose and cockpit or the main undercarriage. I have already built the latter (although it's not yet fitted), but I figured the most difficult bit on the F-111 would be the center fuselage, intakes and wing carry-through structure, so that is where I started. The wings are already interconnected, so that they move in tandem. I'm happy with the progress so far, although there still are some unresolved issues.
