Resin figures in 1:48 scale by Reskit, capturing the crew of a General Dynamics F-111 of the Royal Australian Air Force at the moment they climb the boarding ladder toward the cockpit. It is a dynamic subject that tells a story in itself: the model stops being a static exhibit and becomes a scene caught a few seconds before takeoff. Suited to airfield vignettes and to larger dioramas alike.
The Royal Australian Air Force operated the F-111 from the 1970s until 2010 and the nickname Pig caught on for the machine among the personnel. It was a two-seat supersonic combat aircraft with a variable-geometry wing; the crew sat side by side and boarded from above through the raised parts of the canopy. In an emergency they were saved by a jettisonable escape capsule holding the whole cockpit, not by separate ejection seats. It is precisely the high-set cockpit that is the reason why a boarding ladder turns up so often in photographs of these machines.
Wash the castings in lukewarm water with detergent, cut the casting blocks away with a saw and level the mating surfaces carefully; with figures in motion the exact placing of the feet and hands decides whether the scene reads naturally. So dry-fit everything before gluing. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue, and on larger joints a thick glue with a filler helps. Paint over a thin primer, shade the gear with a light and a dark tone and bring the folds out with a wash. Figures in motion stand out best when the whole scene is drawn together with a fine dust pigment.
