And i finally got my mits on these decals (after about 2 years of looking!) from a couple of helpful chaps over on ARC. Got them for pennies :D

hi,

just dropping my opinion:

that Jolly Rogers D Cat is probably the most famous D scheme out there - with every right! It's absolutely beautiful!

Personally I favor the high and low viz bounty hunters schemes!

Btw do you fancy sharkmouths? There is a D model low viz scheme - I just can't recall the squadron.

There are high & low viz 'sundowners' schemes with sharkmouth, too.

Fightertown decals are my favorite decal maker! Can't go wrong with those!

I am personally sceptical about TwoBobs - colours are quite off and the quality isn't top notch with 2 sets I have - again, my mustard as we say in germany ^_^

here's a nice weathering walkaround: http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/f14weatheringdp_1.htm

I've seen some terrific builds at arcforums, so If you need some inspiration it's worth a gaze.

If I have a new compressor I'd love to join the Cat GB! But that might take some time :(

At least I replaced my awful revell vario with a decent Iwata last week!

Looking forward to seeing your build(s)!

regards

Mart

Thanks for the comments Mart. VF-84 'Jolly Rogers' only flew the 'A' model but when the Jolly Rogers name was switched to VF-103, the squadron transitioned to the 'B' model, not the D.

The D model with the sharkmouth you refer to was from VF-101 'Grim Reapers' and as you say made by Fightertown, which i agree are excellent decals. However, i must disagree with you on the Twobobs, i think they are excellent!

Also, thanks for posting the walk around, very useful.

Hope you can join in on the Group Build.

Cheers

Dave

Just thought i'd update this thread seeing as the F-14 group build is now in full swing. VF-84 is first up the, well, i'm not too sure....

Think i'll do an A, B and D (time permitting!)

If you haven't looked at the GB thread, i'd recommend having a look, some great builds going on!
