Can't go wrong with pink! :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Thanks
the paint is xtracrylix desert pink with some lightening here and there. As for loadout, I am not sure, I will have to drill the wing for some pylons. I was originally going to do it OOB but with new markings-so there wasn't going to be a loadout!

Maybe some ALARMS or even Martels?  Failing that, some LGBs for some tank plinking.

Finished! Painted to represent an RAF F-111A bought from surplus USAF stocks following the termination of the Panavia MRCA program.  The somewhat elderly and unmodified airframes performed well in the the Gulf war of 1991.
It is a very early Airfix F-111 built oob with the addition of 4 Alarms.

Nice one Van  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Very nice. I've always found the desert pink color strange, but... the planes which were this color always look smart  :thumbsup:
