Never let the truth get in the way of a good rumour.....
The tiny wings probably resulted in a wing loading higher than that of an F-104 and were clearly incapable of carrying large external stores, IF anything at all.
Total internal fuel capacity was 5588 gallons. Extra fuel was available in the form of 450 gallon under-wing drop tanks, a 570 gallon tank in the weapons bay and a jettisonable ventral tank holding 1000 gallons under the fuselage. Production aircraft would have had an in-flight refuelling capability. (From Target Lock)
I will leave you to do the maths as to how many lbs/kgs that is?
What was the F111's internal + external fuel capacity? 7400 gallons-ish? US gallons??
with a hideous slab sided rectangular fuselage
Of course the F111 is a paragon of stealth, isn't it?
For its size its internal weapons bay (an overly complex arrangement if ever there was one) was quite small

Looks narrower but deeper to me.
