Academy Models 12360 F-111A Aardvark Vietnam War USAF 1:48

Cold War U.S. supersonic, medium-range, multirole combat aircraft. Its greatest advantage for survivability was its speed. Due to its oddly shaped nose the F-111 was nicknamed Aardvark. The wings were straight for take-offs, landings or slow speed flight. By sweeping it’s wings rearward during flight it could exceed twice the speed of sound (Mach 2). The Aardvark was primarily used in Vietnam as a bomber. It could fly at very low altitude and hit targets in bad weather. Kit includes: Variable-sweep wing supersonic bomber Air-to-ground weapons Improved nose gear parts Metal pitot tube Clear canopy Decals/markings for 4 versions
