General Dynamics f-111 Aardvark 1/33 for Cris Gutzmer (Ecardmodels) - Page 6

I have the Verlinden LockOn n.5 and I scanned a page with detail of the main landing gear wheel well. You can PM if you are interested.
I found also good pics at the Airstrip - Prime Portal. Here two examples.

I hope this could help.

I can also help to identify most of these components.

For example, in the first pic, on the speed brake actuator, there is a small red "collar". That is a lock to keep the speed brake from drooping after engine shutdown.

In the second picture, that is a maintenance "collar", put on the actuator to keep the speed brake from closing when hydraulic pressure in on the system.

I'll be going to the local museum tomorrow. I had a few pics saved from previous visits, but none of the gear well.

On my test assembly (and taking into account the fact that I am now helping the mother to care for her sick father) two to four weeks

Happy to email them to you or post them here if there might be useful...?

Also just wondering (ever so hopefully) if there's any word on the M-50?

Photos can be on an email or here. I will be grateful. On the M-50 has not yet been decided.

It's good! I will wait, because, just projecting this part.

I went out to the local museum today and crawled on the ground for 20 minutes trying to get a shot from every angle of the gear wells. I have a folder of pics. Let me know how you would like them.

I could try uploading them to photobucket as a folder if you can open them.
