Michal Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hello everybody, this my first post on this forum. I have problem. I am looking for photos of F-14A VF-84 from Operation Eagle Claw 1980. I know one photo on this forum, but I need more for details about serial numbers or stripes on right wing. Thank You very much. Majkl Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Those are some ratty looking Tomcats, especially for overall Gull Gray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The wing pylons look white! I thought that overall 16440 was applied the year after the "Final Countdown" where the white upper parts were already gone!

GW8345 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) 203 is overall light gull grey, the color difference is just from the way the light is hitting it. It looks like the Phoenix Fairing Adapter (part of the Phoenix "Pallet") is white along with the station 2's drop tank rack (MXU-611).

The Final Countdown was filmed in 1979 and next year F-14's VF-84 were paintined overall Gull Gray. Do You have any other photos of F-14 with stipes from operation Eagle Claw. I need it for my Tamiya project 1/48 :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
