  "1/48th Revell F-14 Tomcat" 

  by "Ben Snyder"
  --------------------

        Steve Bamford will insert full sized version of photo 01.jpg here 

  This model is Revell's F-14D Tomcat, that has been backdated to resemble the F-14A that was flown by VF-31 from the deck of the USS Forrestal in 1989. The model wears 178 decals from 3 separate sheets to complete the look, one for the general markings, one for the VF-31 markings, and one for the ship's and pilot's names. It also has Verlinden's Remove Before Flight tags attached at various points. The ejection seat rip-cords are scratchbuilt and hand painted to return them to F-14A specs, and finally the model was weathered with dark pastels. The model took about 3 months to complete, and was given as a Christmas gift to a friend, who served in the Navy on the USS Forrestal in 1989, and worked with these planes everyday.
