After completing my F-105 and F-106 Century Fighters I got a fair few suggestions on what to build next. One of the most interesting ones and an aircraft that I'd already been thinking about, was the General Dynamics F-111.

My friend Ed Diment (aka. Lego Monster) had an excellent model of an F-111 a few years ago, and it was one of the inspirations.

Rather than the overall grey colour that F-111s wore in their last years in service, I decided to give mine South-East Asia camouflage. This made the build a lot more complicated, but also adds visual interest (and makes mine look less like a copy of Ed's model).

A second view of NASA's General Dynamics/Martin WB-57F N928NA caught on short finals as she arrived in near darkness into RAF Mildenhall back in 2005

Originally a Martin-built B-57 52-1536 and re-built by General Dynamics and re-serialed as 63-13298.

We waited and waited until finally she appeared with that strange whirring sound from her Turbo-Fan engines, landing at 18:15 that mid October evening - hence the poor light - though if I'd had a wet film camera - this image would be black!

Leeuwarden, 6 December 1989.

J-268 was unmarked because it left Leeuwarden that day and flew all the way to Tucson in Arizona. It was the start of a long training detachment in the desert.

This F-16 is at Volkel now and used as an instructional airframe.
