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.

For those in Australia, I recommend Vogler's for kit supplies. Being the local model shop to RAAF Base Amberley, and having numerous customers from the base as well as contacts in the local Scale Model club, they are well placed to serve the F-111 scale modeller's needs. They also have good supply of the Verlinden Book LOCK ON #5 F-111E/F -
