This sheet will be a big
seller as it includes markings for 3 different paint schemes on 2
different Jolly Rogers Tomcats.
The paint schemes include 2
versions of the scheme for plane #103 with VF-103 BuNo163217 and one
scheme with plane #105 BuNo163229 with VF-103.
The first scheme for plane
BuNo 163217 plane #103, "60 Years": "Victory 103" was
one of VF-103's TARPS configured aircraft and was painted in this scheme
during 2003 to commemorate the Squadron's 60th anniversary. This
plane includes a specially painted centerline drop tank and special
anniversary markings on the tails. One interesting point is the
pilots name below the canopy "ENS Jack Ernie Bones.
The second scheme for plane
BuNo 163217 plane #103, "Final Tomcat Cruise". this scheme
replaced the "60 Years" scheme for VF-103's 2004 deployment in
support of Iraqi Freedom aboard the USS John F. Kennedy. These
decals are as the plane appeared on Jan 16 2005.
The third scheme for plane
BuNo 163229 plane #103, "Victory 105" as it appeared between its
return from it return from deployment on Dec 12 2004 and it's retirement
flight on January 2005. This is a somewhat lo-viz scheme compared to
the other Jolly Rogers schemes.
There are 5 pages of
instruction sheets with 4 view colour drawings of these plane showing camo
patterns and decal placement. The decals are contained on 5 decal
sheets and include formation lights for one aircraft. The printing
of the decals is of a very high quality.
You can order this decal
sheet from the Zotz
