The Armory Models AW72337 set is a high-quality resin detail set dedicated to F-111A, F-111B, F-111C, and F-111D Aardvark models in 1/72 scale. This product is intended for modelers who want to recreate the wheel details of this famous aircraft with a level of accuracy not found in standard kits. The wheels, featuring a realistic weighted tire effect, significantly improve the realism of the model—both in a display case and during competition presentations.

Original – history and use:

The F-111 Aardvark was a versatile American aircraft used both as a bomber and a reconnaissance plane. Created by General Dynamics, it primarily served in the United States Air Force (USAF) and also in the Royal Australian Air Force, where the F-111C version was operated. F-111 aircraft played a significant role during the Cold War, participating in operations over Vietnam as well as in later missions in the Middle East. Produced from the late 1960s, they remained in service until the first decade of the 21st century.

Technical information about the set:

Due to its relatively easy installation, the set is suitable for both competition projects and recreational modeling. It is an excellent choice for both F-111 collectors and those seeking a perfectly finished miniature in 1/72 scale.
