Bulldog 09 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) So I need a little help from the Tomcat experts out there. I am currently in the process of building Fujimi's 1/72 F-14A Black Tail kit. I am going to use the markings for Gypsie 200 of VF-32 in Desert Storm, Buno 162701. Now I have seen some say that the tail color was gloss black and others say it was a very dark blue. My question is this which is correct? Any help from the color and markings guys out there would be great, thanks in advance. Dave Fassett Edited March 13, 2019 by Bulldog 09 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 the color is FS 15044, Gloss insignia Blue. In certain lighting conditions, the color is often mistaken for black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I stood next to it on the flightline at Oceana, and I can say without a doubt that it's Insignia Blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
