F-111/Aardvark/Pig GB

[GTX]

Thought I would give this one a bump since we're about to enter the last year of F-111 operations...

I'd have to give it serious thought... I've got a SparkVark destined for a RW build as part of my EW birds collection... but a WHIF SparkVark in CAF 414 (EW) Sqdn colours ca. mid 1980's.

Nice to pay homage to an old warrior this way, in the build or not... I like the idea.

[batmancustoms]

like the idea!

There is an F-111B conversion now available in 1/72 from Australia for those wishing to do the Interceptor variant, however it only represents the prototypes and not the pre-production version with the raised cockpit and slightly longer nose.

I think I'd like to take part.

That'd be just like the original Revell kit then? You could build an A or B from the bits in the box. I bet harly anyone made a B though!

Who does the kit please and where would I get one from?

Shameless Plug for new GB Poll!

After all folks - consider this:  The last operational F-111s are starting to be replaced (see here).

I may even be able to offer a cool prize.

Greg

I wonder what people would say if I said "I might be able to organise a flight in a F-111 as a prize"?

Regards,

Greg

I am in!  If I win will it be able to collect me from Biggin Hill

[Shasper]

I'm still interested depending on what timeframe we're looking at

[GTX]

I'm happy with any timeline so long as it finishes this year.

I'm also happy to allow already started models so long as they fit into the rules and are not actually finished at the time the contest starts.

Now go get yourself ready to vote for this GB or else I'll put you on Carlo Kopp's mailing list (mind you that might also be a prize...)

Regards,

Greg

[GTX]

This one had better get up now - I organised the prize today!

I was just notified that my kit for this one is en route.  I snagged the Old Revell TFX kit! 

[Captain Canada]

I'll have to find a kit but I'm in for an F-111 GB !
