F-111 Paint Specifications - for scale modellers.

Note that the RAAF F-111C colours were probably the same colours that the TAC F-111A/D/E/F were painted during the 1970s and 1980s. The SAC FB-111A began with a green camouflage with white underside, but towards the end were painted a three colour dark green / grey pattern. This led to the name 'Dark Vark'. Towards the late 1980s the USAF F-111 (excluding the EF-111A) were painted all-over Grey (see colour below). Some model kits for the F-111C show the underside as white or light grey. This was changed to black before delivery to Amberley in 1973. Note that all RAAF F-111s are now painted grey.
