Here's a review of a new 1/48 sheet from Twobobs. 

One aircraft is represented on this sheet from VF-32 Swordsmen.  Retro paint scheme retirement scheme!

F-14B BuNo 162961  September 2005

As the F-14 is being retired from the USN, many of the units have applied a "retro scheme" just prior to retirement. This is VF-32's example. The paint scheme features the gull grey over white.

Recommended Kits:

  • Hasegawa F-14B (Decals are sized for this kit)
  • Italeri F-14B

 

The instructions feature a partial history of VF-32, as well as a very nice 8.5 x 5.5 inch photo of the jet. The smaller photos show the yellow on the tails to be sort of a lime green color, but the decals are correct for the proper yellow.

Very special thanks are given to:

Jose "Fuji" Ramos (long time and frequent Two Bobs contributor)

CDR Mike "Norm" Wallace

Lt. Ashley "Ciao" Augostini

Thanks to Two Bobs for the review sample.
