HISTORY ASPECTS:
The General Dynamics F-111C A8-131 served with the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as one of the most iconic and long-serving strike aircraft in the nation's history. Delivered to Australia in 1973, the F-111C combined the longer wingspan of the F-111A with the strengthened undercarriage of the FB-111A, making it uniquely suited for the vast distances of the Australian continent. A8-131 became a symbol of the RAAF's long-range strike capability, with its variable-sweep wings, terrain-following radar, and supersonic speed allowing it to penetrate deep into hostile territory with precision.
Throughout its service life, A8-131 participated in countless training operations, multinational exercises, and strategic deterrence patrols. While Australia did not deploy the F-111C in direct combat, its presence significantly contributed to regional stability during tense periods in the Asia-Pacific. During the East Timor crisis in 1999, the RAAF maintained high readiness levels, and the F-111 fleet stood as a potent reminder of Australia's ability to project power, even without firing a shot. Later in its life, A8-131 was upgraded to carry the AGM-142 Popeye precision-guided missile, further enhancing its deep-strike effectiveness.
After three decades of service, A8-131 was retired in 2003, marking the end of an era in Australian military aviation. The aircraft was celebrated for its unmatched speed, range, and payload, earning the affectionate nickname “Pig” for its ability to "sniff out" targets at low altitude. A8-131 was preserved and displayed as part of the RAAF’s legacy, showcasing the significance of the F-111C in Australian air power doctrine.
This 1:72 scale model commemorates 30 years of service with striking accuracy and attention to detail. Equipped with four AGM-142 missiles, authentic 1973–2003 commemorative markings, and sweeping wings, this replica is a standout piece for aviation history enthusiasts and collectors of Cold War and modern strike aircraft.

Excellent Sound Deadening Material!
Style: 10 SqFt, Style: 10 SqFt
I installed Kilmat Sound Deadening in my truck, and I’m extremely impressed with the results. The material is thick, pliable, and easy to cut to fit doors, floor panels. It sticks very well to metal surfaces and doesn’t peel, even after heating it slightly to make it more flexible. After installation, I immediately noticed a reduction in road noise and vibrations. Worth the money!!

A Must Have For Car Restorations!
Style: 80 mil 36 sqft, Style: 80 mil 36 sqft
I have been installing this matting in my 74 Datsun 260Z restore and very pleased with the ease of application and overall quality. My car has bedliner coating inside and this stuff sticks extremely well and is easy to trim and shape as well. I have just started installing it and using the rollers to work it in place but I can already tell a difference with just the little bit I have added....has reduced the resonance in the metal already. It's not a fast process but know it will be very rewarding once complete.

Great sound mat for the price!
Style: 50 mil 50 SqFt, Style: 50 mil 50 SqFt
This is a good product. Many people go with KILMAT because of the value to price point. I did as well. When you clean the surface (in my case it was all painted metal) this stuff sticks very well. I do recommend you use a seam roller of some type, I used Lumiteco 3 piece roller set. This will help with adhesion and mostly flatten the overlapped edges. It also helps you see where you have rolled as it leaves little grooves. The difference when we had no sound mats and after was very impressive. We haven't finished our install yet and it is quieter than when we had an interior in the van. There are thicker mats available in other brands, but this will work great for our van build, but this helps keep the weight down. It is quality material, just be careful when you are removing the backing, the edge of the foil face can cut you. I suggest you layout where you are installing the mat and cut to fit. From what I have read, you don't need to cover every inch in the vehicle, just spot install for a big difference. I chose to cover most surfaces to help keep sound out when we are sleeping in the van. We haven't finished putting the van yet, but we have driven it around and been very satisfied with this product.

Excellent sound deadening mats
Style: 80 mil 36 sqft, Style: 80 mil 36 sqft
Purchased these for a 2020 Lexus RX350 due to the hollow sound of the car doors when shutting. They sounded cheap. The mats are super sticky and I applied them when the doors were hot from sitting in the sun. They alubutyl sticks like crazy and the end result was perfect. Now I have solid sounding doors. Good quality product.
