Very nice indeed CL! Those are some big-arse missiles hanging from it!

Very nice clean build. I love those retirement commemorative tail schemes.

Wow! That is quite clean and colorful with those special markings and all the red from the dropped slats, wing gloves, & flaps.

Very nice. Been tempted to add one of these to the stash. How did the kit go together?

the gray looks nice side by side with a SEA F-111, with the red it is not so boring and the flaps are interresting

the fit was good, I struggled on the cockpit section that never fir to the fuselage ( in the end pressue und filler ) it works

Wow! That's an awesome build!

Beautiful build.
The Aussies did keep their planes pretty clean (must have been kiwi crew chiefs )
