Wicked Ace Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I promised myself that I'd finish this old project before beginning on the VF-1D. This thing needed some fixes and fast packs -- now it has both. Hope y'all enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Oooooooooooh. Sundowners are my fave squadron, so of course I love this custom. Tail looks closest to their first F-14 markings, 1979 or so. Grays remind me of an Su-24 more than anything else, which is a rather unique but cool pattern.

David, I looked at a bunch of pictures, but any specific year similarity is purely coincidental. The first time I saw a the Sundowners scheme was when I was a kid in a hobby shop; I was in awe and bought an F-14 kit. . . too bad mine came out looking nothing like the one at the hobby shop.

rnurmin Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Very nice custom, Wicked Ace. Where did you get the decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 Very nice custom, Wicked Ace.Where did you get the decals? 347388[/snapback] The VF-1 decals from came from both Takatoys and Anasazi. The F-14A decal set came from a local hobby shop; Albatros Model Works is the name of the company that makes the particular set I used.
