RAAF F-111 reskinning
Born in Texas, lived in Queensland - the Pig.
Here are new skins for the RAAF F-111s. The SEA camouflage skins have been repainted, mostly in accordance with LeL's SF1 F-111C. In addition to the usual fin squadron markings, the crests are also displayed. The grey skins have also been redone. All of this was done on the new templates provided by slick_cowboy, who more than lives up to his username. In addition to F-111C skins, F-111A, and F-111G skins are provided. In addition, the hypothetical RF-111A from "F-111 Super Vark Pack" has been repurposed as an RF-111C.
All serials have been added. The following versions are represented:
- F-111C (Early)
- SEA camouflage: 28 serials including the 4 F-111A attrition replacements converted to F-111C. Squadron markings for 1SQN, 6 SQN, and blank squadron markings (which may be accessed by selecting "No. 82 Wing" in the loadout)

- The nose wheel door buzz numbers are missing. There is an apparent issue in the LOD file that prevents their display. This was discovered after testing.
Extras:
- Alternate squadron markings for the SEA camouflaged aircraft:
- The big "1" for 1SQN (example: http://www.airport-data.com/images/aircraft/small/000/500/500438.jpg)
- Simple yellow or blue lightning flash (examples: https://www.sites.google.com/site/shess0757/_/rsrc/1401962709125/fsx-and-real-f-111-aircraft/image079.jpg)
These can be added by altering the name of the standard squadron decals (named "raaflsqnXXX.tga" and "raafrsqnXXX.tga", and copying the non-standard markings in, or you may simply overwrite the standard markings)
