TomcatFanatic123 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Is there any B model 'cats out there today that still lack the square PTIDS in the RIO's office? If so, does anybody have any suggestions on markings, and if not, does anybody have any suggestions on markings for an early "B" model?? Thanks :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 It depends on whether or not the 'cat is equipped for LANTIRN pods. While I'm fairly certain that all B's still in service are probably configured this way, I know it wasn't always the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VFA-103guy Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Actually, all F-14B's, and D's currently have the 8x8 PTIDS screen. The PTIDS screen is added like Skull Leader said to LANTIRN equiped tomcats. However, all tomcats are currently LANTIRN capapble. The scenerio of "some do/some don't" would have been greater earlier on in the program as LANTIRN was just entering service with the F-14. Brian Marbrey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Thanks for clearing that up, Brian. I was fairly certain that this was the case, I knew there was a continuing effort to make as many tomcats LANTIRN capable as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I thought about that, Colin, but his words "Still out there today" made me leave it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twobobs has a sheet and they look very sharp when done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Filak Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 You could also do 'Thief of Baghdad ' or 'Camel Smoker'. IIRC, neither of these aircraft were LANTIRN equipped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 and if I recall correctly, those were from the VF-24 "Fighting Renegades", just in case you need to look by squadron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
