--------------------

Five, yep that's right FIVE different options are on this one sheet.  The CO bird and four line birds.  You have enough markings here to build one complete CO bird and one of four line birds.

The first aircraft is #101 and is the CO bird from this unit and has a paint scheme that brings back some memories from the 80s when the Navy really dressed up their paint schemes.  11 mission markings as well as some special Felix artwork are on this jet.

The second aircraft is  #104.  This aircraft had the most mission markings of any VF-31 jet from the cruise with 42 mission markings as well as a tommy gun marking for rounds expended during strafing runs.  Very busy jet this one was!

The third aircraft is #107 Another line bird with 20 mission markings and a tommy gun strafe marking.

The fourth aircraft is #110 with 35 mission markings with a tommy gun strafe marking.

 

The fifth aircraft is #111 and has 31 mission markings with a tommy gun strafe marking.

Man talk about "bang for your buck"!!  All this for $9.50 US dollars!!  This will give you lots of options for this squadron and makes sure you don't show up to the contest with 10 other VF-31 Tomcats sitting next to yours with the same markings.

The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal sheets and the 2 pages of colour instruction sheets are easy to follow.

This is a very good sheet and is sure to catch the attention of the F-14 builders.
