I just thought about carrying an Air Launched Cruise Missile on this build. and a couple bunker busters to follow up on the target with. Probably not practical but could be fun.  An F-18E kit had two AGM-84 SLAM-ER that I might steal. Now to find who makes them in 1/72.  Finding painting directions for an F-111 is harder that finding hens teeth.  The kits I have show grey of the EF-111A or tan/olive /black which doesn't sound like any F-111 I've ever seen.  Could just make something up but I like part of my builds to be plausible.
Also, does anyone know if the fuel tanks from the Monogram A-10 kit are close to the F-111 tanks?  I've read the A-10 inherited the big tanks from the F-111 program for ferry flights. I have two of those or maybe F-15 tanks.

Looks like I need the AGM-158 JASSM missile for tactical strikes. Modelcollect make a kit but its expensive not even including shipping so the search goes on.  Another company from Ukraine called Armory makes them at a better price. Delivery might be lengthy but its no rush for me.
