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

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

[Stikpusher]

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?

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

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

[Medicman71]

Wow! That's an awesome build!

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