Eight complete aircraft from VF-84 / VF-103 Jolly Rogers - four in 72nd and four in 48th!!!

- VF-84 F-14A "Flag Tailed" CO bird 1991
- VF-103 F-14B "Santa Cat" 2000
- VF-103 F-14B "Black & White"
    scheme 2001
- VF-103 F-14B "Victory 100"
     (Eagle nose art last Tomcat cruise 2004)

This mega-sheet should make Jolly Rogers Tomcat fans very happy. There are 4 different Tomcats per scale, and 2 decal sheets included - a very large main sheet, and a smaller one with some of the 72nd markings.

The unique and infamous Santa Cat, black and white scheme (with bomb markings), last VF-103 cruise and VF-84 "Fighting 84" markings are included.

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 2-sided, full color instruction sheet with FS color callouts, paint patterns and very nice artwork.

I know this was a huge undertaking by VF Decals, and delivers subjects highly sought by and demanded by modelers.
