This set was designed using the excellent references provided in Detail and Scale’s “Colors and Markings of U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcats Part 1 and Part 2”. This set includes an 8.5” x 12” main decal page, an 8.5” x 4” insert decal page, as well as our 5” x 8” 48-059 stencil set.

Two complete models can be built using this set. The aircraft covered include:

Although this set is designed to work best with the 1/48 Tamiya kit, it should work fine with other F-14 kits as well.
