TwoBobs has taken on another great pair of color schemes -
the VF-11 Farewell schemes. This set provides markings for
F-14B BuNo 162912 (AA/101) and F-14B BuNo 163227 (AG/200) representing
the aircraft as they appeared early and late in the VF-11 history
files.
The first aircraft, 162912, is painted in a 'retro' high visibility
paint scheme of gray over white as the Tomcat appeared in its
early years.
The second aircraft, 163227, is painted in the final tri-gray
low-visibility scheme but carrying high visibility markings
to commemorate the Tomcat's withdrawal.
In addition to the not-so-low-viz markings used on the aircraft,
this decal set also provides the more visible maintenance and
warning stencils, slime lights, and intake walkways.
The printing is perfectly in register. The instructions are
printed double-sided in color, providing excellent color scheme
as well as decal placement information.

My sincere thanks to TwoBobs
Aviation Graphics for this review sample!
