HOBBY MASTER 1/72 RAAF ROYAL AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE GENERAL DYNAMICS F-111 AARDVARK A8-138 (HA3030)

Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1:72 scale Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) General Dynamics F-111C Aardvark from No.1 Sqn, A8-138, Pave Tack Prototype, 1984.

This F-111 was delivered new to 1 Squadron RAAF in October 1973. It was the first to be modified with the PAVE TACK targeting pod. The RAAF purchased ten Pave Tack pods in 1980 for its F-111 fleet. All 24 F-111Cs were wired for the pod, although there were not enough pods for all to be simultaneously equipped. Following the retirement of the USAF’s F-111F in 1996 the RAAF purchased surplus pods to equip each of its F-111Cs to carry its own. This aircraft was involved in the retirement ceremony for the type at RAAF Amberley December 2012. It has since become the gate guard for the base as of December 2015.

This model air-plane is made from die-cast metal and include extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Gemini Jets, J-Fox, Aviation400, Phoenix Models, JC Wings, and Aeroclassics.
