Thanks folks. I appreciate it. Although Dassault take the credit for the aircraft's good looks.

...You need to change the serial though, mate. A3 refers to the Mirage III family in RAAF service...

Only in the real world.

I don't worry too much about details like serial numbers as if we are ignoring the reality of which aircraft were used then we can also ignore the reality of which numbers were given to what.

I have plans for a number of visually similar aircraft in RAAF service - Mitsubishi F1 & T2 and a Jaguar.
And I want to do an RAAF Mirage IV and a Harrier. I wasn't going to do them in Fanta Can but it could look interesting on a Harrier...
I will also be continuing my run of RAN FAA whiffs with a Sea Harrier, an Intruder and a Starfighter. And many more. I have a list...

Thanks Chris.

As the RAAF took delivery of its first two F-35s today I was wondering if one of them was going to be getting Fanta'd?

Probably have to be in the "sugar free" or "diet" version nowadays $:-\$
