Fantastic Finish, Ron. Great job on an old kit. Question for you: is the warning stripe red/white, because it kind of goes with the markings. I really like what you did with the cockpit area also. Bill

Hello all, I am looking for the Afterburner Decal sheet # 48-054 Lakenheath F-111 Varks set. I'm building a Desert Storm bird for a pilot that flew them back in the day. Any help would be appreciated. Bill

Big Bird! Looking good so far. All the swizzle sticks and I thought they were used for sanding things. Bill

Great job Ron. Still a cool looking aircraft after all these years. The Sparrows really set off the natural metal scheme. Bill

You have built more kits in 2020 than I have since 2018. I applaud your dedication to building. Great work on them all, Duke. Keep it up. Bill

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday at wailing US 30 Dragstrip...where the great one's run. Fantastic. Bill

Boss, man! Love the color scheme. The attention to detail is really superb. This looks well worth the effort and time put in. Bill

Two thumbs up Gil! Nice paint scheme too. Bill

Nice build with a great finish. Well done, sir! Bill

I really like your flesh tones, Kev. They have the warmness in their color. The hair looks great also. Well done all around on this one. Bill

Way cool paint on this one! Those colors just work together. Nicely done build all the way around. Bill

Way cool, Kev! It almost looks like she is being "hatched" out of the 'egg' pod. The colors look great for what it is. Bill

COOL! Great job Ron. What color red is that? A custom mix or what? Bill

Cool Bird you have there Duke. It really has a bird like quality to it, I think. You wrangled it into a fine looking representation of the real thing. Bill

That's an awesome build. I couldn't imagine being towed over the North Atlantic in something like this. Too many variables there for a safe recovery. Well done. Bill

Well done, Kev! The Empire will never be the same now. Bill

Mike, What about using clear sprue for the water stream from the hose to the point of its impact? Using a piece thin enough then maybe adding some clear caulk to that for more volume to it. You might looking at some of the ship guys for how they do sprays with cotton tufts for wakes to make your water bouncing off the engine cowling. Just some ideas. Bill

Great job. I remember back when I built that kit. Left it Natural metal (silver plastic) and used the square bottle of Testor's Orange paint. Some gloss black tires and it was ready to deploy. Cool paint scheme. Bill

Hidden in plain view. Nice save. Mark, is the bar armor PE or plastic, you did a nice job on getting that all together. Bill

Nice job, Ron! Maybe I would be able to something like that done in a couple of months. Let's see...seven parts, seven months, that's probably about right for me lately. Any way, very cool. Bill

I have to agree with Mark. The weathering is fantastic. Keep it coming. Bill

Creepy looking...but in a good way? I guess. Nicely done. Bill

Looks like he could use some braces. Great job Kevin. Bill

Thanks guys. I really enjoyed building this kit. Minor issues easily solved. It's kind of funny about the canopy glass. I polished it then dipped it in whatever 'Future' is called now. I scratched it while installing it and had to take off the part and re-polish it and re-attach it. I guess it worked out ok. Bill

Great job on that finish Bill. Classic Scheme. Two thumbs up. Bill
