Why this kit matters
The General Dynamics F-111 was a long-range, all-weather strike aircraft that served with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) from 1973 to 2010. Known affectionately as the "Pig" due to its long snout and low-level strike capabilities, the F-111C provided Australia with a potent strike capability for many years. It played a vital role in maintaining regional security and was a symbol of Australian air power.
Building this model allows you to recreate a piece of Australian aviation history in detailed miniature. The F-111C was a unique and important aircraft in the RAAF, and this kit captures the essence of this iconic aircraft. The finished model serves as a tribute to the men and women who flew and maintained these aircraft, and a reminder of Australia's commitment to air power.
