Bit of a rare one here folks, as apparently the said markings only lasted about a month - and yes that is a RAAF F-111:

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

You've gotta love the Czech's! Given half the chance and they'll stick a sharks' or tiger mouth markings an almost anything in their air force. Long may they continue....

They must have pics of every sharkmouth ever painted in that little lot.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Fairey Battle of No. 9 Bombing and Gunnery School.

with a uniform to wear,

and something to shoot at?"

The "eyes" on that Battle make it look as though it's a little frightened of whats going to happen next  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

As it's flying at a training school it may have good reason!  ;D

Kinda cool to see a mouth on an airbus, but to me it looks more like a smile than anything and it's missing the bottom set of teeth. but cool anyway.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Love the Hunter, very cool artwork and thank the gods it's NOT bloody Red Bull!!!
