Color profiles

Furball decals continues their “AirWing All Star” series and this decal sheet features 7 (seven!) CAG F-14, with enough national markings and stencils for two airframes. However if you use the markings and stencils from the original decal sheet you can make a very large group of models.

These are the airframes included

  • F-14A 159631, VF-24, USS Constellation, 1976
  • F-14A 160393, VF-84, USS Nimitz, 1978
  • F-14A 161134 (TARPS), VF-101, NAS Oceana, 1982
  • F-14A 160666, VF-111, USS Kitty Hawk, 1983
  • F-14A 159825, VF-114, USS Enterprise, 1984
  • F-14A 159446, VF-142, USS America, 1977
  • F-14A 158621, VF-124, NAS Miramar, 1974

The airframes are a combination of overall grey, with others being with lower surfaces in white. Some radomes are tan, others are grey. All of them have colorful fins.

Cartograf has printed the decal sheet, and you get what you expect: thin, glossy and in perfect register printing. While I have not used this particular decal sheet I do expect the color density to be excellent.

Finally, the instruction sheet includes very useful color codes, including both the name and the Federal Standard (FS) number, which will make finding the right color an easy task.

Recommended to modelers of all levels.

I would like to thank Furball Decals and IPMS/USA for the review sample.
