Very nice indeed CL! Those are some big-arse missiles hanging from it!

Very nice clean build. I love those retirement commemorative tail schemes.

Wow!
That is quite clean and colorful with those special markings and all the red from the dropped slats, wing gloves, & flaps.

Very nice. Been tempted to add one of these to the stash. How did the kit go together?

the gray looks nice side by side with a SEA F-111, with the red it is not so boring and the flaps are interresting
the fit was good, I struggled on the cockpit section that never fir to the fuselage ( in the end pressue und filler ) it works

Beautiful build.
The Aussies did keep their planes pretty clean (must have been kiwi crew chiefs
)
A8-131 currently resides in a landfill in Queensland due to asbestos contamination.
Australian Defense Forces PR noted “The following aircraft were buried due to their condition and were unsuitable for preservation”A8-112,A8-114,
A8-131 A8-135 A8-140 A8-143 A8-144 A8-145 A8-146 (F111C Models) A8-259 A8-264 A8-265 A8-270 A8-271 A8-274 A8-277 A8-278 A8-281 A8-282 A8-506 A8-512 (G Models) and lastly the controversial scrapping of F111A A8-514 & “City of Graham”, a very historic early aircraft which featured ejection seats instead of the later versions Crew Escape Modules.
