This new decal sheet from Fightertown Decals includes markings for 3 different versions of the same F-14 with VFA-103 Jolly Rogers.....including one with the well known Santa Cat Jolly Rogers tailart. 

This sheet is sized for the Hasegawa kit but it could be made to fit other F-14 kits.

This Santa Cat decal sheet includes the following:

  • F-14B (Upgrade) Victory 103 BuNo 161435 B&W Med Cruise.  

  • F-14B (Upgrade) Victory 103 BuNo 161435 B&W Santa Cat Dec 2000. 

  • F-14B (Upgrade) Victory 103 BuNo 161435 B&W Scheme 2001 Workups. 

There is a long list of people that helped on this sheet including Brian Marbrey, Mike Pister, Andy Mullen, Fury, Paul Osborne, Dana Potts, and David F. Brown.  Well done Guys!!!  

The instructions are clear and include multiply views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet and includes landing gear, ejection seat decals.  You also get the black decals to apply to the exhaust cans so you can avoid painting the black areas.  The quality of the decals is first rate. 

The F-14 Santa Cat is without a doubt one of the cooler F-14's and it is great to see Fightertown Decals make this decal sheet available to modelers that build 1/72 scale jets
