Aerosoft F-14 Repaints

***stovall*** · December 9th, 2014, 13:47

After having a look at the Aerosoft F-14 paint kit, I decided to give it a try. One of my favorites has always been the VF-31 Tomcatters so here goes.

I'm looking forward to this one for sure!!

Looks good. I will be sure to download it if it ever gets available.

If you or others are planning more repaints, please consider a VF-74 Be-Devilers repaint.

Hello Tom - looking good. VF-31 is a great choice, and evolved to many different iterations over the years. Really like you did a non-CAG bird.

Fully agree - I'd say VF-74 is my favourite operational squadron. In addition to the scheme shown above, slightly more colourful paint schemes too ...

And also sported some interesting SU-27esque schemes - as seen here in 1993:

May be a little "over the top" for some tastes - but some might find it interesting.

Any chance for a development / test scheme? There's something really clean and smart about this one ...

Fantastic paint John! Admittedly, I love the weathered tail, so life like. I just never liked the black radome though, just seemed out of place but still a great reproduction. Thanks for sharing and starting a thread that's sure to grow very quickly.

Hope to see the -74 jets as well. I can only imagine the "lead pencil" scheme for -31 was easy to see in ACM since the early Blk F-16's lost the black radomes pretty quick due to that fact.

Don't forget Mr. Anft's site for reference, my crazy request would be a CAG and Line for each squadron!

Nice work....I have a diecast model of THE PENCIL sitting atop my dresser along with a Black Lions CAG bird. Had the pleasure to see it fly in person a
couple of times at Oceana.

If anyone wants to do a VF-201 HUNTERS paint, I do have the Scalemaster 1/48 scale decals I can scan if that will help. Just let me know.

Groom Lake Simulations on facebook has painted a couple. So far Maverick's plane from the Top Gun movie and the same image was displayed so I suppose that one will follow. He has also done an early VF-84 bird.

Just a coat of paint.

Long thread with plenty of reference information (inspirational drawings but also those essential color photos to verify against)

One more for the VF-31. This one about 2005.

***WarHorse47*** · December 15th, 2014, 05:26

Looking great, Tom. Nice, very nice. Will these be posted on your site??

***stovall*** · December 15th, 2014, 05:51

Warhorse, been a while since I worked with my simulator site. Doing a complete upgrade of the site and will post as many of my paints, and scenery as I can. This will include all the recent Milviz F-4 and Aerosoft F-14 repaints. Thanks for asking.

***WarHorse47*** · December 15th, 2014, 10:57

Thanks, Tom. I noticed something wonky with the site the last time I visited. As for the AS Tomcat paints, I'm looking forward to them.

Aside from the ones you're working on and those by Groom Lake Simulations, I'm surprised I haven't seen more repaints in the works by now. Seems there are lots to do by lots of repaint artists.

BTW - I cast my vote for a blue splinter NSAWC repaint.
