F-111C Pig A8-131 RAAF "1973-2003" (with 4 x AGM-142) in 1:72 scale
This is the F-111C Pig A8-131, RAAF "1973-2003" (with 4 x AGM-142) in 1:72 scale by Hobby Master.
The F‑111C “Pig” A8‑131, in service with the RAAF from 1973 to 2003, was a uniquely formidable strike platform distinguishable by its four AGM‑142 “Have Nap” anti‑ship missiles, a capability rarely seen on other variants. Featuring Australia‑specific extensions like longer wings, reinforced landing gear, and advanced terrain‑following radar, it turned low‑level supersonic attack into a lethal art form. Fondly nicknamed the "Pig" for its robust ground‑hugging trait and long nose, A8‑131 embodied long‑range precision strike excellence in the Asia‑Pacific, maintaining potent strike readiness decades past its Western counterparts.
Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
