The instructions are clear and
include 2 side views of each aircraft along with generic top views of the 2
paint schemes featured on this decal sheet. The decals are beautifully
printed on 3 decal sheet with 2 insert decal sheets and includes landing gear
decals, pilot patch decals, ejection seat decals, Lantirn Pod decals, formation
light decals and helmet decals. Plus a set of data markings for each
aircraft and typical loadout information. The quality of the decals is
first rate.
The F-14 will have a special place in most people
hearts for it's innovative swept wing design and it's pure raw performance
as a fighter with the later model being able to stand on their tails and go
vertical to altitude. It was a jet that seemed to capture everything good
about American design and styling. It has flown it's last mission with the
USN. As modellers we are able to capture the VF-211
Checkmates F-14A Tomcat in
all it's glory thanks to this decal sheet
from Fightertown
Decals. Now
it's up to you to decide which one of these 6 jets to
build.....decisions....decisions......
