The Australians were going to purchase one of the UK Harrier carriers (Invincible maybe?), with Harriers to go, but after the Falklands War the UK changed their mind and decided to keep the ships, and no harriers were bought. Anyway, this is an attempt at getting a nice 70's high visibility-ish livery, while trying to be careful not to thread into the airshow specials, commemoration type liveries, or children toys/cartoon stuff for that matter.
- Ignore YUI-METAL - the girl on the nose. That's just for my personal harrier.
- This is a work in progress, to be released with a retextured Tarawa posing as the HMAS Perth, voice acted by real Perthian friends of mine who are of the right age and has the right backgrounds for this sort of thing. Can't have a HMAS Perth jump jet ship without an ATC that speaks Perth english, etc.
- The squadron will be fictional, based in Perth (Garden Island maybe?).
- I like the name and theme of their squadron logo, but the graphic is just a placeholder for now. I will at least change the silhuette to be an original roo from the front holding a guitar, and add space for the squadron number.
- I'm not that fussed with absolute authenticity and accuracy. Most of all I want it to ooze Australianness and look aesthetically appealing.
