She looks good all put together with the new gear and the remove before flight tags! It was a fun project. Enjoy that big cat!

Man that is sweet. Such a shame that the stock paint couldn't be half as good. Props to TKO though, this is next level.

Did you guys know that this F-14A+ or F-14B has some history? BUNO 162910

She was first flight production F-14B BUNO 16291.
And she is at NAS Key West on display, different paint scheme however.

Before BUNO 162910 went to the F-14 FRS VF-101 at Oceania she was with the VF-102 around 2002 aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-7

And here she is with a different nose number.

VMF115,

I will post pics of the low-vis Jolly Roger sceme when I receive some photos from Zach. Hopefully the bird will be done before Christmas.

Seeing your Tomcat gets me excited about what mine will look like when Zach is finished. I will contact pizzaguy soon to purchase some of the remove before flight tags and covers.

Enjoy your bird!

I'm seriously interested in doing something like this. How much do you charge to do a repaint?

I am also interested in how to commission one of these amazing works of art and what the prices would be. I can't figure out how to PM anyone, so if someone could give me the details I would be grateful.
