Re: F-14 Tomcats..
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 :

Re: F-14 Tomcats..
The Iranian and Ferris schemes are already out there....
Re: F-14 Tomcats..
I am confused.
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.
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?

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

Another great reference for you:

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:
