Diecast

Some of the best models of F-111s I’ve ever seen are die cast models produced by a company called Hobbymaster from Hong Kong.  Hobbymaster produces eleven different F-111 models, which are part of their 1/72^nd Air Power Series. These model F-111s range the gamut from Royal Australian Air Force F-111s, and United States Air Force F-111s from T.A.C. (Tactical Air Command), U.S. Air Forces In Europe and FB-111As from S.A.C. (Strategic Air Command). The Air Power Series has other scales including 1/32^nd, 1/48^th, and 1/444^th.  Hobbymaster also features other die cast models in their Ground Power Series and Airliner Series. Although, the die cast F-111s retails between $70-$90 each, which I find exorbitant, I’ve been told that their craftsmanship and quality are justifiable.  This post on this blog does not constitute an official endorsement of Hobbymaster.
