This decal sheet is professionally silk screen printed by Cartograf in Italy.
The F-111D was intended to be a significant advancement of the basic F-111A. This variant of the F-111 family incorporated state-of-the-art avionics which proved to be difficult to maintain during the early years of its service history. Once the initial reliability problems were solved and the systems were refined, the F-111D offered unparalleled navigation and targeting capabilities for its time, and remained as a pivotal asset in the USAF until its retirement.
Almost all F-111D Aardvarks were based at Cannon AFB, assigned to the three squadrons of 27 TFW on the base. In this set, Caracal provides fourteen marking options for this important F-111 variant.
