I've really been struggling with the F-111, I ordered a set of resin wheels a month ago and still don't have them,so kind of lost intrest. On a happier note I got informed today that Hobbylinc finally got their shipment of the new Revell 1/32 F-4Gs So my backorder should be filled soon.

The worlds most ugly, series build airplane!😄 But your work on the kit is great, as usual, Augie!
The panellines look a bit washed out, are they?

Hi Kees, It was a old Revel one I had kicking around thinned heavily..
Oddly tho.. I am actually considering stripping it and re-doing it in tactical camo.. saw a picture of a gnat in it and it really looks good..
Or I might just buy another lol..
