Hobby Master F-111C “The Pig” A8-125 RAAF – 90th Anniversary of 6 SQN (2007)

The Hobby Master F-111C “Pig” A8-125 RAAF – 90th Anniversary of 6 SQN (2007) is a standout release that captures one of the most iconic aircraft ever to serve with the Royal Australian Air Force. Combining historic significance with exceptional diecast engineering, this model is a must-have for serious military aviation collectors.

A True Aussie Legend

Few aircraft hold the same legendary status as the General Dynamics F-111—affectionately known as “The Pig.” Renowned for its long-range strike capability and unforgettable “dump and burn” displays, the F-111 was a cornerstone of Australia’s air power for decades.

This particular aircraft, A8-125, celebrates the 90th Anniversary of No. 6 Squadron, making it not just a model—but a tribute piece.

Detail & Engineering Excellence

Hobby Master has delivered an outstanding level of realism with this release:

• Functional swing-wing mechanism
• Detailed cockpit and crew figures
• Authentic squadron anniversary markings
• Precision-applied decals with sharp finish
• Realistic landing gear and weapon load options

The paintwork and special anniversary livery are executed beautifully, giving this model strong shelf presence.

Build Quality & Presence

This is a premium diecast model with a solid metal construction that gives it weight and durability. The larger military scale (typically 1/72 for Hobby Master F-111 releases) makes it a commanding display piece compared to smaller aircraft models.

It’s the kind of model that becomes a centrepiece in any collection.

Collector Appeal

• Highly desirable RAAF subject
• Commemorative anniversary livery (limited appeal = higher collectability)
• Perfect for military aviation enthusiasts
• Ideal for display alongside other Cold War or modern strike aircraft

With the F-111 now retired, models like this continue to grow in demand among collectors
