1/48 F-14D Tomcat VF-31 Last Pac Tomcat decal sheet

Product #48090

Product Article by Steve Bamford on May 3 2005

This sheet features one very special F-14D.  As you all know...the F-14 is being phased out of service....much to the protest of scale modellers who know better.

This sheet focuses on for the CO jet from the Tomcatters, which is one of the most famous squadrons to fly the F-14.  The Tomcatters are the only USN squadron to achieve aerial victories in 3 wars....WW2, Korea and Vietnam.  This particular jet features commemorative markings for the last Pacific cruise for this squadron before conversion to the Super Hornet.

Recommended Kits to use to build your F-14D would be:

  • Hasegawa F-14D
  • Monogram F-14D
  • Black Box Cockpit
  • Cutting Edge Masks
  • Cutting Edge Bulged Wheels
  • Eduard Detail Set
  • Eduard Masks

The 2 pages of instructions include 4 view colour drawings of this aircraft's paint scheme and decal placement as well as a wealth of detail photos of this jet's markings.  The decal sheet is full of markings for this very special and colourful jet.  The "Felix the Cat" markings date back to the USN biplanes in 1929.

 

These decals are beautifully printed and include all you need to do this jet up right...including formation lights.  A great looking sheet with historical markings for this famous squadron and well as this much loved fighter jet.  Bob is thankful to Robert Woodbury for his help making this sheet possible.

I'd like to thank Twobobs for the review sample.
