This new decal sheet from Fightertown Decals includes markings for 4 different 1/32 F-14's with VF-101 Grim Reapers in 7 different paint schemes.  

There is a long list of people that helped on this sheet including Mike  Pister, David F Brown, Brian Marbrey, Andy Mullen, Dan Teker and Chris Ishmael.  Well done Guys!!!  

All the Tomcats on this decal sheet are in glorious hi-viz markings.

The instructions are clear and include multiply views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet with 6 insert decal sheets and includes landing gear and ejection seat decals.  Plus 1 sets of formation lights and a set of data markings. The quality of the decals is first rate. 

I'm a fan of the F-14 and it's engineering and history and the Grim Reapers have Tomcats that sported great looking artwork.  This decal sheet has captured the best of all this in one tidy package that sure to please modellers of the big 1/32 Tomcat.
