Furball Decals FDS 4814: F-14 Tomcat Part VI: VF-154

This is another set produced in conjunction with Detail & Scale, and covers nine different aircraft. There are a variety of F-14 types on this one so you should be able to find something that meets your interest. So many Tomcat kits have been produced in 1/48 scale, that finding a kit will also not be that much of an issue.

These markings cover the full Tomcat history of VF-154, which operated the type for 20 years before moving on to the super bug.  It wasn't one of the first units to get the plane so that means a lot of TPS with a couple of overall light gull grey aircraft. Every one of these is either the CAG bird or squadron commander's plane.

In concert with other Furball Aero-Design sheets, you will find a most complete placement guide that offers snippets of information on each aircraft. The set also includes a stencil/insignia sheet for two planes that is not shown but if you want to see it or perhaps buy extras, here is a link. As it sometimes the case, one of the sheets are a bit too big for my scanner. These sheets have historically sold out relatively quickly, so I recommend picking yours up at the earliest opportunity.
