The F-111A was the first production version of this machine with variable-geometry wings and a cockpit with two seats side by side. The package contains clear parts for the cockpit glazing.

The real subject

The F-111 was an American two-seat tactical bomber with a variable-geometry wing that allowed both slow flight with the wings spread and high speed in the swept arrangement. It was powered by a pair of TF30 engines and was designed for low-level penetration to the target with automatic terrain following. The F-111A version was the basic air force production variant and saw use in the fighting over Southeast Asia, among other places. The crew consisted of a pilot and a navigator seated side by side.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts from the sprues and glue them with liquid modeling cement for plastic. Paint and accent the roomy side-by-side cockpit before the fuselage is closed, and mask the clear glazing while spraying. Pay attention to the mechanism and to the position of the variable-geometry wings. Apply primer and the colors with an airbrush, put the decals on over a gloss clear coat and accent the panel lines with a wash.
