My apologies, Logan. I have no idea how I got it into my head that this was Ray's thread.
Thanks for setting me straight, Ray and Elliott. Anyway, my assessment of the tutirial stands. Don |

PART 2/2 I have finished the Aardvark after a little frustration and a lot of glue staining. The canopy was one of the easier parts of the f-111 to build (and, along with many other parts in this installment, one of the hardest to photograph!) It should be flat at the back and form a natural curve up to the front, and is best fitted by starting aligning the panels on the back of the canopy to those on the top of the fuselage. The engine nozzles are a little tricky to fit in place because you have to turn them up just a little for them to be aligned. Once in, however, they give the rear fuselage a lot more needed support and help support the back of the tail. The ventral fins are a whole lot easier if you remove the tabs. The tabs are hard to fold down even when enlarged 150% (this build is at 1/200 scale) so I can only imagine the challenge at 1/300. The fin on the left is with the tabs, while on the one on the right side I opted against them. You may notice there is only one pair of parts left. They are to be curved like half of a cone and planed with the opening of the "cone" against the front of the first part, and part of it glued to the bottom of the fixed wing piece and the other part against the second piece. I could not for the life of me take a picture of that part, it was too small and in too awkward of a place for my camera to focus on it. The final result:

Good walk-along, (build-along?) tutorial, there Logan. Do another one sometime. Like you have loads of time, right?

I usually do have a lot of time during the summer. The only problem is that my laptop is so slow that photobucket can be next to impossible to use some days, but I'll make some more (for my fans out there )

I really like this tutorial. I've never build a 1/200 model (my fingers are way too fat). I might just give it a try after seeing this.
What thickness of paper/card did you use? Thanks, Gary

Thank you all for the kind words
The paper that I used was a super-cheap printer paper that's thinner than usual, which led to glue soaking through a lot, but i usually use normal printer paper
