General Dynamics F-111A Aardvark

After weeks of limited working and dedication, I can proudly say that IT’S VARKIN TIME!!The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark is a retired supersonic, medium-range, multirole combat aircraft. Production models of the F-111 had roles that included attack (e.g. interdiction), strategic bombing (including nuclear weapons capabilities), reconnaissance and electronic warfare. The name Aardvark was derived from perceived similarities of the aircraft to the animal: a long nose and low-level, terrain-following capabilities. Aardvark is literal translation from Afrikaans, "earth-pig", and the source of the F-111's "Pig" nickname during its Australian service. (Thanks to Wikipedia for the info) Controls: AG1: Bomb bay open/Close AG8: Canopy Open/Close. This plane features the most detailed landing gear I’ve ever made and it’s hella strong too. I will probably add future variants with a detailed ejection seat and different payloads too. Also, this variant includes 3 750LB bombs and 2 3000LB Bombs. Have fun and consider leaving an upvote!
