tomthegrom Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I have an F-14D kit ready to go. I am having a bit of a creative block and I am unsure what livery to build it in. I prefer normally a mid 80s A, late A, A+ guy. I want to build it as either an A+/B or D. I have already built VF-213 200 last cruise. I don't want a VX jet, no VF-31D models, no VF-103 Jolly Rogers. So far I am thinking of making it a VF-103 Slugger with the club leaf on the tail. I would like your ideas please, what do you think is cool? What is a good looking D model? What A+/B/D should I build? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Go to the following websites and pick one as they are all bada$$ and these are the absolute best manufacturers of scale F-14 markings in the world. https://www.furballaero-design.com/ http://www.fightertowndecals.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 You don't see allot of love for VF-24, -211, -74 or -142 in their A+ markings ... I think they all look great... -Gtegg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) I'm with GreyGhost. Those are all great choices. There are decals for all of them as well. You could also do VF-11 either in B's or D's. One other thing you could do is a Whif. At one point VF-111 Sundowners were going to transition to D's, but plans changed. It's been rumored, but never proven true, that a Delta was painted up in -111 markings before plans changed. That would look kind of cool.

I use their decals exclusively. I used fightertown to build Lion 200 and that's about the only D that has ever really grabbed me. Vf-21 will be the Next A from furball I believe.

I have heard about that D in Vf-111 markings, also heard there was a screaming eagle also. Good photo of a D with 154 and 32 on opposite sides. WHIFs aren't really my thing though. Grey ghost, we have very similar tastes. I have a 24 jet in the cabinet, 74 A+ from desert storm is my favourite jet of all time and is in the cabinet. 211 will be an A from a fightertown sheet. 142 however, that is one I don't have and always wanted. You might be onto something there. I think Furball has one on a sheet. Wouldn't mind a mid to late 90s 143 jet as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I would recommend a VF-103 Slugger DS bird, or like you said, a late 90's Pukin Dog. But then again, I am a little biased to those two great squadrons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
