1/48 F-111C Progress Pics.

Currently building a Zeng Defu 1/48 F-111c as a gift to a family friend.

The kit is really a FB-111 but it makes a better ‘C’ as the detail is all wrong for the FB.

It’s just been futured and is waiting for decals and a panel line wash.

Still a lot of work to do.

Constructive criticism is welcome.

Your airbrush camo is excellent! Great job!

Nice work Mark. I’ve always thought they looked best in SEA scheme as opposed to Gunship Grey.

That’s a great looking paint job! Very nice looking. Good looking F-4 back there, too.

Nice looking Aardvark! I have a couple waiting for construction one of these years. Makes for a “big” addition to the fighter collection of the Vietnam era. Looks like an F-4E in the background flying wing. I built the old Fujimi F-4E way back in the 70’s after my tour in Nam. Scratch built some seat details and added canopy hooks. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the kind words guys.

The F-4 in the background is my technique hack. I got that poor kit as a cheapy and every time I read a new technique that I think could be benificial, the poor old girl comes out to play again. The list of firsts so far-

1st use of acrylics,

1st pre-shade,

1st scrach built detail, (ejection handles + seatbelts)

1st time cutting out any part of the model, (dropped flaps and speedbrake)

1st weathering, (salt chip/ acrylic over enamel tape method.)

Still to do intake and exhaust covers.
