F-111C

[RayS]

I got this model about 6 years ago. It was one of the original promotional desktop models given out by General Dynamics at the beginning of the F-111C program (I believe).

I had been damaged and repaired by the owner and then passed on to an ACTSMS members to repair the repairs. I was told the owner passed away and the model no longer had a home. I was offered the model so I grabbed it to refurbish it.















So I eagerly started to refurbish it







Then in my usual way I had issues with the repaint and put it aside for about 5 years. So I masked up the base coat and got back into it



The stand was repaired as well and repainted





Masking removed.





And now it is re-decalled, I used the Southern Sky 'Final F-111 Scheme 2010 ' sheet for this.



I just need to repair a broken intake splitter plate and seal the decals and it will be finished

Very nice Ray, what scale is that?

Very impressive resto and recovery Ray!!!
Was there by chance and manufacturer markings on the model, (under the stand etc.).....I would be really interested to know who originally made the model.
And I am guessing it is approx. 1:72

No markings that I am aware of. There's disintegrating foam on the base.

I used 1/48 decals on it, I measured it out to be about 1/50 scale.

That is a 1/72 Mirage on it for reference.
