It seems as if VF-31 is a very popular unit as you sure seem to see a lot of decals made for these guys. This particular sheet covers one aircraft that carries a MiG kill on the nose. It was actually achieved by buno 157307 AC/106. However, since this aircraft is the plane assigned to the squadron CO, CDR Sam Flynn (who actually got the kill), that is probably why the marking is there. Typical of the time, these Phantoms had the huge insignia on the upper and lower wings. It is also painted in the light gull grey over white scheme. Superscale provides an anti-glare panel as a decal so that will help when it comes time to finish the kit. Though the markings are sized for the Hasegawa kit, it should fit the Monogram or ESCI or any other version without too much fuss.
