Falconxlvi Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 First of all, many thanks to Furball and Fightertown for the new Tomcat sheets - I have purchased several! So, with all the great new F-14A sheets featuring the LGG over White schemes, I figured I would ask the question of "what's missing"? For me, I would love to see the LGG/White VF-114 scheme (the white, gray, and orange combo is super eye catching) as well as the Top Hatters Bicentennial scheme! I guess I will stay busy in the meantime with all the great decal options, but like every good modeler, I want more!!! Anyone else feel this way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrew.deboer Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Furball has the VF-14 Bicentennial jet just out - F/D&S-4810 is the sheet. I would like the VF-14 70th Anniversary markings, although it would be an easy enough DIY decal project... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be awesome if someone did the "full" bi-centennial scheme with the blue nose ring that had the stars on it and the bicentennial tail flash (I think Hasegawa had this scheme in one of their 72nd re-releases a few years back).

IAGeezer Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yeaah... VF-114, 1977. That would be great..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 what about VF-111's Miss Molly? very eye-catching Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'd like VF-114 in the grey and white along with VF-102 in the TPS scheme circa 1986. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircal62 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Also VF-213 in their initial F-14A scheme with the blue fins. I think that VF-213 was the sister squadron with VF-114 on the Kitty Hawk when they first got their Tomcats. And of course VX-4 in their gray/white aircraft with the blue band on the nose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichB63 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Microscale Decals may have been the first company to release aftermarket sheets for the Tomcat in the late 1970s. They have just re-released a couple of these early decal sheets in 1/48 (and 1/72), no doubt to coincide with the arrival of the Tamiya F-14A. Here are links to the quarter scale offerings... http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MD&Product_Code=AC48-0044&Category_Code=AC48 http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MD&Product_Code=AC48-0039&Category_Code=AC48 Strictly speaking, the subjects depicted are all early airframes, but by creative Modex and BuNo manipulation, you could do a "mid-block" bird, as Tomcat squadrons then were often comprised of mixed batches of aircraft, not all of which had been updated yet to a common standard.

Super Scale did these a number of years back, 48-362. Its the VF-14 70th Anniversary, and VF-111 Miss Molly. Fightertown also did the 80th Anniversary on 48-035, (along with the 90th on the Super Hornet) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I would like to see VF-41 in their 1997 cruise on the Kennedy. TPS, but very smart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) this VF-33 bird is wonderful as well Edited October 28, 2016 by Alpagueur Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Ok decal guys - is anyone planning on releasing VF-124 bicentennial markings for the Tamiya F-14? Man, those markings look so cool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
