OK, apparently only a thought at this time, with no actual CAD files or tests shots being done yet, at least not that I see. I did an F-111 eons ago, 1:48 scale I think, but can't recall for the life of me what manufacturer it was.

With no model images, no CAD images and not even any actual release schedule, it doesnt look very promising to me...............

But Id still buy a fire-farter in 32nd if one came out!

 

[LSP_K2]

I have to agree, Brian, I think the F-111 is one big beautiful machine.

This, and the Jag are two of the few flame throwers besides the Flanker (that I already built) that I would buy in an instant

Where is the 1/48 RF-84F? My buddy Bruce (Mr. T-jet hisself) is one of their reference contributors.

Where is the 1/48 RF-84F? My buddy Bruce (Mr. T-jet hisself) is one of their reference contributors.

The  site says it will be released in the fall of 2015.

I too am a contributor to this one.

 

Cheers

[KAGNEW]

there are test shots of RF-84F glass on Britmodeler

I'm really hoping I'm wrong but the F-111 and Phantom 1/32 models from TAN looks like vaporware to me. I'd be very surprised seeing such a quite new and small company releasing huge and complex kits without having first released at least a dozen of smaller and less expensive kits... Even Chinese companies where costs are far lower have not done this. I know HK models precisely showed the opposite but their initial history was not a common one.

 

Please tell me I'm wrong... :-(

[Tony T]

You're probably wrong Thierry. There, somebody's said it.

 

You may have to wait six-seven years for an F-111, but the kit need not be complex. Good basic cockpit, wheel wells, LG and inlets and skip on unnecessary access panels and gizzards, weapons bay, flaps and gloves and just a good outline - et voila.

AM will step in if you want more detailed this or that, or spread wings.

 

I think the proof of the pudding will come with their Talon / Freedom Fighter / Tiger kits.

Well - they've started CAD modelling of the F-4E:

 

 

And the F-5 family appears to be making CAD progress:

 

 

Just saying...
