Description


Markings provided for all three aircraft.

Marking details:

VF-11 Red Rippers ‹¨«‹¨«‹¨« 2005 (F-14B BuNo 161437) This jet carried the standard TPS paint scheme of Medium Gray (FS35237) topsides, Dark Ghost Gray (FS36320) sides, and Light Ghost Gray (FS36375) undersides. The outside of the tails was freshly painted to put the St. Patrick‹¨«‹¨«‹¨«s Day markings on. All other markings were standard for VF-11 at the time. The national insignia on the wings were gray, while the fuselage sides carried full color national insignia. This jet also had the reinforcement plate around the RIO‹¨«‹¨«‹¨«s boarding step. The red used by VF-11 was brighter than the standard Insignia Red. A good match is Model Master Guard‹¨«‹¨«‹¨«s Red and can used to paint the fin caps. This was a LANTIRN equipped jet.

VF-101 Grim Reapers ‹¨«‹¨«‹¨« 1998 (F-14B BuNo 161862) This jet carried the standard TPS paint scheme of Medium Gray (FS35237) topsides, Dark Ghost Gray (FS36320) sides, and Light Ghost Gray (FS36375) undersides. All the trim was painted in Insignia Red. Paint the red and then add the white decal striping afterwards. There were only crew names on the left side of the canopy frame. The right side of the canopy frame was a solid white line. There are other pictures of this plane without the white trim. We were able to get pictures with the white trim, which we thought looked a bit sharper.

VF-102 Diamondbacks ‹¨«‹¨«‹¨« 2000 (F-14B BuNo 163227) This jet carried the standard TPS paint scheme of Medium Gray (FS35237) topsides, Dark Ghost Gray (FS36320) sides, and Light Ghost Gray (FS36375) undersides. All stenciling was in Medium Gray, while squadron markings on the tail were in Combat Gray. This was a LANTIRN equipped jet.

Extras: If you are building the Hasegawa kit, you can enhance your model with the Steel Beach Bombrack Set (SB 138), which gives you bombracks, PTID screen, and LANTIRN hand controller, all of which are missing from the Hasegawa kit. If you are building the R/M kit, the Steel Beach F-14B Update Set (SB 146) will upgrade your F-14A/D into a B. You can also cover up those pesky intakes with vinyl intake covers from Steel Beach (SB 201 ‹¨«‹¨«‹¨« Red; SB 202 ‹¨«‹¨«‹¨« Black). All of these items are available at here.
