With the War
on Terrorism, there have been many, many missions flown by the USN
F-14's.... providing much needed air support.
This
particular decal sheet provides markings for 2 of these F-14. This
decal sheet features two F-14's that were operating over Afghanistan
during Operation Enduring Freedom.
The first
plane is an F-14B #161435. This plane is called Kates' Nickel and
is the VF-103
Commander's
jet off the USS George Washington in December 2001. This plane
sports the Jolly Rogers skull and cross bones markings on the vertical
stabilizers. Everyone loves the Jolly Rogers markings (including
myself).
The second plane is an
F-14A plane #162698 with VF-14 off the USS Enterprise. This plane is
also an Afghan War Hero. This plane belongs to the VF-14 Tophatters.
This plane has the same low viz 2 tone gray paint scheme with black
highlights in the paint scheme as the first plane on this decal sheet.
The decals themselves are
clearly printed in perfect register. The clear carrier film around
the decals is at a minimum, so this should give the best results.
The colors are solid and should give perfect coverage without any worry of
underlying paint showing through.
The 3 pages of instruction
provide all the information you'll need to complete either of these plane
and include FS#'s..
All in all, this is an excellent
decal sheet and one that is sure to be popular with the many fans of the
F-14. I highly recommend this decal sheet to all F-14 modelers.
I would like to
thank Meteor Productions for
providing me with this review sample.
