Congratulations Chris. The finish is amazing.

Going to look brilliant sitting next to the EF111 Raven you did me.

Thanks,

Re: Italeri 1/72 F111

Chris,

Beautiful model, but just one thing: the wings are swept too far forward, in a position that is actually impossible on the real thing. Bring then back a bit so that the trailing edges are aligned with each other (zero degree trailing edge sweep angle, which equates to 16 degrees leading edge angle, the maximum forward sweep on the F-111).

Take it from a former F-111 driver.
