■ Product Overview
Produced by Japan's world-class scale model manufacturer, Hasegawa, comes the highly acclaimed 1/72 scale plastic model kit of the US Air Force F-111A Aardvark "Vietnam War" edition. The F-111 Aardvark secured its place in military history as the world's first operational variable-sweep wing fighter-bomber. This premium kit features newly printed silk-screen decals to accurately recreate historic aircraft from the Vietnam War era. The box art is brilliantly illustrated by the renowned aviation artist Tankro Kato. It is offered in brand-new, factory-fresh condition with all internal parts completely sealed in their original manufacturer bags.
■ Key Features
· Authentic Variable-Sweep Wing Mechanism: True to the actual aircraft, the model features an ingenious swing-wing mechanism that allows you to adjust the wing sweep angle even after assembly. Display the aircraft in either its sleek, high-speed supersonic dash configuration or its wide-span, low-speed deployment stance.
· Exquisite Cold War & Vietnam Era Detailing: Comprising 159 parts, this kit meticulously captures the specific nose profile housing the terrain-following radar, the unique side-by-side seating cockpit, intricate landing gear bays, and under-wing ordnance pylons.
· Premium High-Fidelity Decals Included: Comes with newly designed, premium silk-screen decals to replicate the famous 474th Tactical Fighter Wing, 430th Tactical Fighter Squadron aircraft "NC113" (1972), along with options for one additional historic aircraft.
