Not quite RNZAF, but they were here often enough (and even left a couple behind in bits) so I thought it could go in this section. Something I've been working on for the last few weeks, Hasegawa 1/72 F-111C supplied to me courtesy of forum member kb clearing out his stash recently ;D Interesting kit. Has a great reputation and some parts of it are brilliant, while other parts are mystifyingly average.

That looks just great Sam, well done so far.
Did any RNZAF pilots fly the F-111 on exchange I wonder?

Very nice. I believe a few Kiwis have flown RAAF F-111s over the years, including Karl Vette - Gordon Vette's son.

Loved seeing those big noisy buggers when they were out here. The couple of times they crashed here reminds me of a little ditty which did the rounds back at the time: A daring young pilot named Kevin Piloted an F-111 He took off with a roar at six forty four And he crashed at a quarter to seven!
