The first Grumman prototype of the Model 303E, which would become the F-14 Tomcat. First taking flight in December 21st, 1970, approximately 50 years ago.
Included:
- Livery of F-14A BuNO 157980
- Custom AIM-9L/M Livery, a dark blue inert version
- Custom AIM-7F Livery, also dark blue and inert
- Custom AIM-54A Livery, representing a YAIM-54 Phoenix
- Modified pilot suits to be more accurate to the Orange and Green suits used in the 1970s
- Modified Roughmets to more closely represent the glossy finish, anti-glare stripe in front of the canopy, and various reflective Aluminum Corogard surfaces
- Modified Normals of the vertical stabilizers, to more accurately represent the reflective leading edges' shape
Planned:
- Correct interior Bureau Number
I'm sad that I couldn't get this out on the First Flight of the Tomcat's 50th Anniversary, but I hope that I can deliver with a new high quality standard. Majority of the stencils have been referenced through official sources and matched with photos for accuracy, albeit probably are not absolute 100% correct.
