- Scale 1:144
An Atlas Editions 1:144 scale die-cast model of the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark
The model has no markings for its scale so the 1:144 scale is a rough estimate I am using from the supplier.
This is a die-cast model from the Jet Age Military Aircraft range made by Atlas Editions.
The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark was an American supersonic, medium-range attack aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic nuclear bomber, aerial reconnaisance and electronic warfare aircraft in its various versions. Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics, it entered service in 1967 with the United States Airforce and also entered service with the Royal Australian Airforce in 1973.
The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production aircraft, including variable sweep wings, afterburning turbofan engines and automated terrain following radar for low level, high speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft, and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace.
This diecast model comes complete with a stand so you can display your model with pride.
