F-111E Drop tanks.

Post by lhrlima » Sun Mar 14, 2021 7:03 pm

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong place, I don’t post on here as much as I should!

For a modelling project, would anybody known the colour scheme for the drop tanks on UH based F-111’s? I’m thinking green over black undersides but can’t find any clear photographic references.

Secondly, would the tanks normally be carried on the inboard or outboard pylons?

Thanks in anticipation!
Steve.

Steve,

I did mine in the darker of the two greens used for the camo, and popped them on the inboard pylons, as per photos/instructions.

End result is on here.
