Academy EF-111

Greg Baker
This is interesting. It looks like you've added extra support (and some screws), does this kit need it? I've got one in the stash as well, so I'll be following along.

I opted to have the wings fully extended, so I eliminated the swing mechanism. Figured the screws would be more sturdy than glue.

Gary Dahlström
Looking sharp. Always had a soft spot for the 111.

Nathan Dempsey
Looking great. Nice work so far.

Michael Phillips
Oooh, a Sparkvark! I have this kit in the stash and haven't seen many built, so I will be watching yours with keen interest.

Gary Dahlström
That panel work is top notch Chris; beautifully executed.

F-111, sweet 2019 memories 🙂 Can't speak about the Academy variety, took the HB shortcut back then...

This looks really great, lovely clean build, paint- & panel job, looking forward to see a big-scale Raven!

Alexander
Looks really good, curious to see the end result. 👍

Donald Dickson II
I wish I had thought to do that with the sprue. Could have helped eliminate the God awful step I dealt with. Good job. 🙂

Alexander
Looking great, finished already?

Chris Church Schrijver
LOL, yeah three months is a fast build for me.

Erik Leijdens
Fantastic work Chris. I also like the old camouflage. Great job overall 👍

Alexander
Agreed, nice presentation, like the overall look of the plane and the rather subtle weathering. 👍

Nathan Dempsey
Definitely an inspiring build Chris. Crisp & beautiful work.

Slavo Hazucha
Superb result - the Raven is a beauty in her own class - makes me want to re-visit this topic rather sooner than later 👍

Gary Dahlström
THAT is a tidy build; great photo composition.

Daniel Mysak
Very nice work.
