What if I told there was a planned UK version of the F-111 Aardvark strike aircraft well here it is

UK F-111K Merlin GR.1: https://preview.redd.it/l52fy71rcm461.jpg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ae288feef19d8f6c648da6018d12c615d45a0be

After the cancellation of the BAC Tactical-Strike-Reconnaissance 2 aircraft the UK needed something to replace ageing English Electric Canberra Bombers in the interdictor role and fulfil the Tactical-Strike and Reconnaissance of the cancelled TSR-2, the F-111K used the F-111A and the wings of the F-111C, however the F-111K itself was cancelled for the similar reasons to the TSR 2 Economics and cost overruns, its intended role was eventually filled by the Avro Vulcan B Mk.2 and Blackburn Buccaneer S Mk.2.

The model looks very good however the F-111K had 9 pylons not 6 as the models showed.

Credit to W879SP2 for the awesome model
