The fourth edition of our popular “Colors and Markings of US
Navy Tomcats” series. This time
(F/D&S-4812) exclusively the covers the gone but not forgotten “Freelancers”
of VF-21. This set was designed using
the excellent references provided in Detail and Scale’s new book, “Colors and
Markings of U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcats Part 2: Pacific Fleet Squadrons”. This set includes an 8.5” x 12.25” main decal
page as well as our 5” x 8” 48-059 stencil set.
Options are included for ten VF-21 F-14As that are designed to work with
the 1/48 Tamiya F-14A kit. Two complete
models can be built using this set. The
aircraft covered include:
-VF-21, F-14A 161603, (NK-200), USS CONSTELLATION, 1984

the 1/48 Tamiya kit, it should work fine with other F-14 kits as well.
