I've now got the capsule of USAF F-111E 68-0040 - Its on the Gold Coast - I'm requiring some parts - if anyone might be in a position of assistance or would know of where any of these parts would be, please PM me - Its getting harder and harder to find parts!

Required part description and part number where possible as below:


Stby Att indicator Horizon = MS27150-3
Stby ASI = SM85AVU19/A
Fuel Tank Select switch, Knob &switch = ???
Clock = CL-ABU11/A (Know where I can get this now)
Stby Compass = AQU3/A
Master Caution Indicator = ???
TFR control panel = C70477270

LH Side wall panel = good portion of it and some switches missing including..
Spoiler Reset & Test panel = 12F5044
Flight Control panel Test = 12C1317
Flight control panel CTR = 12C1318
Seat Lift control panel = ???

Also looking for:

• The black plastic fairing/s that covers the lights/aircon/flotation pull tab between the two cockpit windows/doors. I need the front one too, the back one is metal, and has the flood lights embedded in it.
• Seatbelt Harnesses, need the horseshoe, buckle and seat belts? probably inertia reels as well...
• Both headrests and headrest adjustment assembly’s (need the entire unit, I’ve got nothing lol)
• Upper switches panel (located in the bulkhead between the pilots heads) = Lighting Control panel: = 12F5600-5
• Pilots side wall and shelf panelling and a few switches that are located on this
• Wet Compass that is mounted from the front centre windshield (see pic) see above
• AOA indicators
• TFR Settings panel (located in front of centre throttles) = C7047720
• Entire Pave Tack VID unit + rubber visor = IP1295/A

Wow you gotta F-111 module, better not tell anyone or you'll have to bury it!
Seriously well done, that will be the envy of the cockpit collector community.
Would love to see some photos.

Yes, pretty damn stoked if I may say so myself! I'll sort some pics... unfortunately the few I have with me don't show it at its best... phone camera, still a bit grubby having just come out of the shipping container and in need of a little touch up TLC after being stored outside for the best part of two years prior to it arriving here.

I'll PM you a couple that I have on hand Martin.

Oh and... there's no risk of anyone burying this one! All ITARS and export permission clearances and certificates were applied for and obtained to get this out of the states - so those party poopers out at Swanbank Landfill are going to have to find something else to dump in that evil landfill site from hell... *mwaahahaha*
