Hi scooter, excuse me for borrowing your image :bow:



Hi rez here

Hi people, do you think that in the area of bomb bay, it was possible to build a cabin for a business version?

Besides deleting bay, what other internal modifications?

4 people cabin. More, by stretching fuselage.

Will die without understanding this world.

Not much height there to play with, just maybe..............

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Pretty cramped accommodations too.

No worries.  All the attributions are on there anyway.

Whilst this idea works with the Rockwell B-1B, the F-111 is a bit on the smaller side. Some sort of pod that protrudes the upper fuselage or the FB-111M which was a lot larger.
In sketches that I have seen, two extra seats located behind the main cockpit is plausible as in the F-111K, depending on which publication you read.

Not sure if the weapons bay has enough height for sitting. Some drawings show a big fuel tank above the weapons bay.

Only if you're willing to lose your main fuel tank
and revise a lot of structure and systems routings.

Replace the radar and electronics with a cabin.

You can get several people in the bomb bay if they lay down!

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

If they're in pods, you don't even have to land.

You might want to pull up from the F-111's usual flight profile!
