The Big Fighter looking great! AJ208 was one of my fav VF-84 skins with the different TPS demarcation line.

Sweet!!!

Great !!!!

Do you envisage to realise Camo scheme (like iranian camo used by US Navy) or the split camo use on one US Navy Tomcat ? (like pic here :

The Iranian and Ferris schemes are already out there....

I am confused.

Why are you trying to make the NBAI F-14A model look like having GE engines when there are F-14B and F-14D models available that have the proper engine nozzle shape and textures and the chin pods?

VF-32 never flew F-14Ds.
The were one of the first Atlantic Fleet F-14 squadrons and flew F-14As until the late 1990s when they received the B model which they flew until transitioning to the F/A-18F Super Hornet.

Regarding the modex number 208 on your VF-84 and VF-41 repaints.
This is very unusual. As far as I have seen the modex numbers x08 and x09 were skipped on the fleet squadrons (at least on F-4s and F-14s).
I do not remember having seen any photo of a Tomcat with these numbers.
Do you have reference photos of these particular aircraft?

The bureau number 162651 on all your repaints was not used for F-14s at all in real life.

Buddy these texture are just test textures .

Tell me where AI F-14B/D are bud.

Who made them

The F-14B was in the original Miramar Top Gun pack and the F-14D was in the Tomcat Sunset pack.

Thanks Steve..

If you scroll through a lot of the decal instruction sheets are scanned into this page as product reviews, so you can get a ton of details regarding paint schemes (FS numbers) markings ect... For example here are some details on a couple of my favorite Cats:

A couple of more cool ideas VF-24 "Thief of Baghdad" and "Camel Smoker"
