F-14D Tomcat's Last PAC

TwoBobs has released an interesting new set for the Hasegawa or Revell-Monogram F-14D Tomcat. This set commemorates the Tomcat's last Pacific cruise. VF-31 Tomcatters were the last west coast operators of the F-14 before they too were assimilated into the Hornet community. The east coast Tomcats will be gone soon as well. A sad day indeed!

This set covers the red-tailed aircraft from VF-31's cruise aboard the USS John Stennis last year. The artwork has the squadron mascot of Felix the Cat in various poses on either side of the aircraft. The specific aircraft is:

• F-14D, 164603, NK/101, USS John Stennis, 2004

With all of the commemorative markings needed for the aircraft, the decal set has the cockpit warning flags, intake warnings, rescue stenciling and slime lights as well as national markings. You'll need to rob another sheet for the remainder of the maintenance stencils for this aircraft.

The printing is perfectly in register. The instructions are printed double-sided in color, providing excellent color scheme as well as decal placement information. Highly recommended!
