Everyone ones the RAAF ARDU Fanta Can scheme, and there have been quite a few "what-if" artworks over the years.

How about a sub-GB, Fanta Can birds?

Looks nice Neb. Maybe continue the orange further back along the fuselage top to half the fin chord ??

A Fanta GB sounds good

Phanta-can Phantom anyone ?

This is probably a stupid question but why is it called the 'Fanta Can' scheme?

[Can't remember the last time I saw a can of Fanta, which would probably answer my question, but....

The original Fanta Can was Orange and White, so the name obviously derived from that.

It's probably been done before, but I'm planning on the Fanta can paint scheme for one of my TSR-2 kits.

( 1962 - 1970 - 2001 - 2010 )

2nd from left, above, is the 1970's Fanta^(tm) can design that gave its name to the ARDU colour scheme, below.

PS: I still prefer the taste of the artificially flavoured Fanta^(tm).

I assume people know the where and the why of the development of Fanta (the soft drink)?

Old Wombat, I don't think I've ever seen a can of Fanta downunder with the words, "Soda" on them. I assume the pictures are from an American website? The colours are right, the words are not.

Only on-line image of the right era can I could find. Even the interweb has its limits!

"Ditto" to Ben.

You learn something new every day!

Gotta give Max Keith some serious credit, too, as a businessman, if nothing else.
