Here is a preview of a new product from VF Decals.

VF-DECALS is proud to announce their next up and coming decal release for the F-14 in 1/48 scale. This is a data and stencil sheet for all 3 variants of the F-14, and this sheet brings some much needed items to not only assist Tomcat Modelers in their quest to “build a better tomcat”, but ease a little of their suffering by providing decals for certain items which in the past, have required modelers to mask and paint. This sheet is currently on pre-order and the release date is currently tentative. 

The data sheet contains over 17 different items to include:

  • 1. GE Black Petal Decals

  • 3. 2 types of walk-ways in Black and Light Grey
