Historical background – the F-111 aircraft series

The F-111 Aardvark is an American all-purpose strike aircraft, designed by General Dynamics and introduced into service with the USAF at the turn of the 1960s and 70s. The aircraft was intensively used by the United States and Australia in various configuration variants: F-111A, B, C, and D. The F-111A participated in Operation Linebacker II during the Vietnam War, the F-111C served with the Royal Australian Air Force, and other versions took part in exercises and combat missions up to the early 21st century (the Cold War and beyond). The characteristic landing gear of the F-111 required sturdy wheels—accurately rendering them is the key to a convincing model replica.
