| Willie has 9x kits still available of the 48 scale FB 111 from Hobby Boss, the RAAF did use a few of these subjects in the early years as replacements of the F 111C, the only difference between the 2 versions is the wing span is slightly shorter on the FB 111 model, as compared to the F 111C and like the C model, was flown in the SEA tri camouflage scheme.
The kit is available @$38.00 from Willie as a pick up only, as he has listed $30 for postage.
Their are 2 tri schemes with this kit option 1 is the SEA Scheme, of Tan, Forest Green and Light Green, while option 2 is the Tri Green LIZARD Scheme {used in the European Regions from the late '70's} which is the 1978 Tiger Meet box art option, both aircraft schemes are Light Grey under surfaces.

The boxart of the FB 111.
NOTE:- This kit is exactly the same as the F 111c in RAAF markings, I have checked the wing parts between both kits and they are equal in length.
Some FB-111a where later upgraded to the F 111g. | |
