The first
plane is an F-14 D #164600. This plane is the F-14D Skippers Bird and
is with VF-31 off the USS Abraham Lincoln in winter 2002
and spring 2003. This plane is covered with some bright colourful
markings. It has a black nose cone and black canopy area. The
tail is covered in red with black text and black at the top of the tail
tips. This jet has 11 bombing mission markings.
The second plane is an
F-14D plane #164343 with VF-31 off the USS Abraham Lincoln in winter
2002 and spring 2003. This plane is
also an Iraqi War Hero. This plane has the same low viz 2 tone gray paint scheme with black
highlights in the paint scheme as the first plane on this decal sheet.
There is the Squadron artwork on the tail of the Cat carrying a round bomb
with a lit fuse. This jet has 19 bomb mission markings and one gun
sortie mission markings...... possibly for a strafing run. There is
also the name "Ms Heidi" on the side of the nose cone.
The decals themselves are
clearly printed in perfect register. The clear carrier film around
the decals is at a minimum, so this should give the best results.
The colors are solid and should give perfect coverage without any worry of
underlying paint showing through.
The 3 pages of instruction
provide all the information you'll need to complete either of these plane
and include FS paint #'s. This is an excellent
decal sheet and one that is sure to be popular with the many fans of the
F-14. I highly recommend this decal sheet to all F-14 modelers wanting to
capture some very current history. |
