Stuart's Flying Cat

Post by Stuart »

If I get time, for my 2nd build I'll be building a F-14A Tomcat in either VF-1 or VF-2 markings. The Tomcats only entered the war in 1975 and flew CAP missions from the USS Enterprise during the evacuation of Saigon.

I have a Hobbyboss 1/72 kit lined up for this, although I'll have to source some VF-1 or VF-2 decals.

Cheers!

Nice selection Stuart! Those squadron markings are very attractive!

Thanks Carlos - I'm leaning more towards the VF-1 Wolfpack markings but it depends what I can get..
