Andrew Maverick Taylor Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Anyone know where I might be able to get decals for 1/72 NAWC Aircraft Division aircraft such as the F-14, F/A-18, A-6 etc? I already have decals for the TA-7C Twosair but would like to try and build this jet: Edited April 18, 2017 by Andrew Maverick Taylor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CJ Martin Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I can't help you with the decals, but be aware the jet you want to model is a "D minus" test bird from the F-14D program. It's basically an Alpha air frame, TF-30's and all with Delta electronics and cockpit. I don't remember what seats it had in it now. Miles and miles of orange wire under those panels.

scotthldr Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Fightertown Decals did a NAWC F-14 in 1/48, never seen anything in 1/72? From the photo it looks like it was a standard size of font used for the NAWC/AD throughout, would it be hard to get these printed on their own?

The picture shows the GRU-7 seats with the face curtain ejection handles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Maverick Taylor Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Fully aware that the F-14 pictured is an NF-14D PA-2 (an F-14A airframe but with F-14D avionics). Might have to print the decals myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CJ Martin Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Ah Joe how are you man. Recently picked up your Corsair book as the wife got me the 1/32 Tamiya -1A, well done sir. My old eyes plus the fact that I was an AT not an AME makes it hard for me to identify the seat, so thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Seb Looks like I may have to do a similar thing and buy another 1/72 TA-7 sheet to use the NAWC markings. Only reason I want the F-14 in 1/72 is because I have TA-7 in that scale and thought they would look good together otherwise I'd just do the tomcat on it's own in 1/48. Thanks for your input.
