Aerosoft F-14 Repaints

After having a look at the Aerosoft F-14 paint kit, I decided to give it a try. One of my favorites has always been the VF-31 Tomcatters so here goes.



 
Hello Tom - looking good. VF-31 is a great choice, and evolved to many different iterations over the years. Really like you did a non-CAG bird.

Looks good. I will be sure to download it if it ever gets available.

If you or others are planning more repaints, please consider a VF-74 Be-Devilers repaint.

Fully agree - I'd say VF-74 is my favourite operational squadron. In addition to the scheme shown above, slightly more colourful paint schemes too ...





And also sported some interesting SU-27esque schemes - as seen here in 1993:

May be a little "over the top" for some tastes - but some might find it interesting.




Any chance for a development / test scheme? There's something really clean and smart about this one ...

Fantastic paint John! Admittedly, I love the weathered tail, so life like. I just never liked the black radome though, just seemed out of place but still a great reproduction. Thanks for sharing and starting a thread that's sure to grow very quickly.

Hope to see the -74 jets as well. I can only imagine the "lead pencil" scheme for -31 was easy to see in ACM since the early Blk F-16's lost the black radomes pretty quick due to that fact.

Don't forget Mr. Anft's site for reference, my crazy request would be a CAG and Line for each squadron!

Nice work....I have a diecast model of THE PENCIL sitting atop my dresser along with a Black Lions CAG bird. Had the pleasure to see it fly in person a
couple of times at Oceana.

If anyone wants to do a VF-201 HUNTERS paint, I do have the Scalemaster 1/48 scale decals I can scan if that will help. Just let me know.

Groom Lake Simulations on facebook has painted a couple. So far Maverick's plane from the Top Gun movie and the same image was displayed so I suppose that one will follow. He has also done an early VF-84 bird.
