Two complete aircraft from VF-211 "Checkmates" final Tomcat cruise in 2004.

- Nickel 101 F-14A BuNo 161603
- Nickel 115 F-14A BuNo 161297

Markings are included for the hi-vis AB101 and low- vis  AB115. Complete stencils are included as well. There are even stencils for the LANTIRN pod, including a skull and crossbones, presumably from a VF-103 pod.

The decals are beautifully printed by Microscale, and are in-register. The smallest of markings are crisp and clear, and the white markings are very bright and clean.

There is also a full color instruction sheet with FS color callouts, paint patterns and very nice artwork.
