The F-111A Aardvark, operated by the 430th Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS) under the 347th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) stationed at Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base in 1975, played a crucial role during the Vietnam War. This swing-wing bomber was designed for low-level penetration missions and possessed advanced avionics, making it a versatile platform for both strategic bombing and tactical interdiction.
During its service in 1975, the F-111A Aardvark was engaged in supporting operations in Southeast Asia. While the Vietnam War had officially ended in 1973, the region continued to experience geopolitical tensions. The F-111A participated in missions aimed at maintaining stability and deterring potential threats, contributing to the United States’ strategic interests in the region.
This 1:72 scale model faithfully captures the details of this iconic aircraft. Aviation enthusiasts and collectors can appreciate the sleek design and unique features of the F-111A in this meticulously crafted replica. Whether displayed on a shelf, in a diorama, or as part of a historical aircraft collection, this model is a tribute to the F-111A’s role in military history and a must-have for those passionate about aviation.
