The Verlinden seats would be 1st choice, followed by Aires/Quickboost (Aires has PE belts, Quickboost is all resin). The Verlinden seats get the padding right, from what I've seen most other manufacturers only do the 'issue' padding 'ribs' which most service jet pics never seem to show.

Block 90 I believe.

There's one being built here which will probably answer all your questions.

Danny Coremans said not too long ago that they will be releasing an updated version of the Tomcat book at Scale Model World in the UK in November, it should also be available internationally so hopefully you can get one soon! I have the original and it's a fantastic resource for the later Tomcats.

Here's a link to the MATS Tomcat site which has some good explanation of the intake ramp positions. http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-detail-airintake.htm

Fantastic Vark, that looks really good, I like the muscly loadout.

Nice Tomcat, certainly a dirty girl!

That looks awesome, very nicely done indeed!

Excellent job, that really shows off the hard work and effort you put in, a resounding success!

Very nice project, the OIF/OEF VF-211 Tomcats look great.

Hannants. They do free delivery on decal sheets too.

Man I love this site for Tomcat detailing!

What scale? In 1/48 the Tamiya F-16C/N has everything you'll need for the Viper, the F/A-18A would be easy to convert the Kinetic bird to an A by omitting several antennae and removing the middle rounded lump on each tailfin. Or you could find a Hasegawa F/A-18A and update it a bit with resin/pe if you like.

Fighertown 48080 decal sheet will be a good starting point, though you will need a TCS below the nose and probably the 'L' tail brackets.

That's a fantastically realistic F-15E, very well done.

Touche!

When were VF-2's helemts yellow? I've only ever seen white.

Well, not a lot of options really, so this may be the only gig in town. However, easier than hoping for decals to match the kits airframe date, make the aircraft match the decals. I think your best bet is going to be to wait for Darren Roberts to make his aftermarket sets as you'll need the following: - 'L' bracket tail stiffeners - 7 louvre gun vents - TCS fairing. I have no idea how long it will take to have these sets available, but as Darren is a Tomcat afficianado, I imagine these will be out ASAP.

Great pic, I wonder what the deal is with the 'chalky' handprints all over the front forward fuselage?

Very nice... Definitely going to pick up a few of these.

Certainly bigger than I expected... Nice Renegade Tomcat there

No GE exhaust with this kit unfortunately. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10067453/10/0

Here you go, 1999.co.jp/eng has a lot of instructions which you can copy as pictures rather than download. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10059448z/70/1

An excellent job, the weathering is very detailed, fantastic work in 1/72.
