Another old sheet is this one for the F-111. I can tell it is old as it recommends the Revell F-111, which means it was produced before the nearly as old Airfix version of this aircraft. Now, of course, we have all the F-111 family produced in the late 1980s by Hasegawa. This is except for the F-111B, of course.

As was standard practice, the sheet comes with no insignia, but does have some data markings, including air refueling guides and wing walk areas for four aircraft. Four sets of instrument panels are also included.

There are markings on the sheet for seven aircraft and from the top of the drawings they are:

F-111E, 20th TFW
F-111A, 'Combat Lancer'
F-111A, 474 TFW
F-111C, RAAF
F-111B, USN test aircraft
FB-111A, 2nd BW
FB-111A, initial production, early grey/white colors.

Though some of these options have been replicated elsewhere an in kit markings, others have not, making it a sheet worth seeking if you like the 111's.
