This new decal sheet from Fightertown Decals includes markings for 2 different  versions of the same VF-31 Tomcat Sunset F-14D.

The 2 aircraft includes a jet as it appeared at the end of the Tomcats operational life. 

  • VF-31 F-14D BuNo 163904 Topcatter 102 Sunset Ceremony on Sept 20-23 2006

  • VF-31 F-14D BuNo 163904 Topcatter 102 Final Flight on Sept 26 2006

  • Topcatter 102 Final Flight

A neat thing is the hand writing on 102's last flight that is represented with decals.  The instructions are clear and include multiply views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet includes some great looking Tomcat tail art.  Plus you get the black decals to apply tot he exhausts cans for a shadow effect. The quality of the decals is first rate. 

It's great to see decals from this historic time in the tomcats operational life.
