For
the 1/72 Tomcat builders.....the Twobobs have resized one of their more
popular F-14 sheets.
VF-32
deployed on the USS Harry S. Truman in support of Operation Iraqi
Freedom in the spring of 2003. Two of their aircraft are
represented on this sheet.
Both
of these aircraft carry nose art and mission markings and A/C 107 is of
special significance since it was modex 107. It was painted up
special in commemoration of the loss of the Space Shuttle STS-107.
A few of the complex markings have been broken up to ensure accurate
registration.
Enough
markings are on this sheet for two complete aircraft and references were
provided directly from the unit via Jose "Fuji" Ramos.
It's been a while since a VF-32 sheet hit the shelves so enjoy these
while you can!
The
decals are printed by Microscale. There is a second small decal
sheet (not shown in this review) and are VERY clearly
printed...especially considering this sheet is 1/72. The more
complicated decals come in 2 and even 3 layers to ensure everything
lines up perfectly. One of the jets features nose art of a Knight
on the battle field with the American flag flying beside him and his
sword held to a vanquished foe lying on the ground. Above that
artwork is the Latin for "God and Country".
