This camo pattern is a temporary pattern use at the beginning of the first Gulf War in 1991.
Therefore the regular paint scheme was sprinkled with some kind of
goosebumps of dark gray spots with lightgray/white inner spots.
This is quite similar to the camouflage uniforms worn at that time.
It is obviously a temporary camo during the first days of war and unfortunately not documented by photographs much!

Model Discription
|
This model is the top of what was produced in 1/18 scale models ever!
The moving wings open up to over 1m of wingspan and are only the first
highlight! The model measures 1.05m from the pitot to the tail! Besides
opening radar nose with dish, the jetengine housings has a front an
rear fan installed. All airbrakes can be opened and the supersonic
stabilizer too.
The highly detailed landing gear has spring schock absorbers, which let
the model settle like the real thing to the landingear. It is
made true to the original in most functions and can be folded to the
landing gear box! Hereby the wheels rotate by 90°.
The landing gear flaps can be opend and closed by hand. This asks for some care and studying of the additional assembly instruction we provide with this model! The tires are made of rubber too.
The cockpit is highly detailed and painted. Also the steps for the
pilots entry are flapable on the side of the front fuselage! The canopy
also opens. The hook comes down and the rudders are turnable.
The model comes with a complet set of armament including 2 external fueltanks, 4 AIM-54
Phoenix, 2 AIM-9 Sidewinder and 2
AIM-7 Sparrow rockets. All insignia, warning signs and
maintenance stickers are printed on! Also on the tanks and rockets!!
The elevators and the wings are turnable, which can be driven from
parking position to slow flight maximum elevation.
The colors show the VF-84
"Jolly Rogers" as flown during the first Gulf War in 1991. Here the
older main paintjob was temporarily covered with a goose bumps like
sprinkle of dark gray spots with light gray/white inner spots. This was
a kind of first aid camo which was changed later on into a Low-Visability Camo consisting of several gray colors.
Included also is a information booklet on the F-14 and the Jolly Rogers squadrons. Which is written in English.
The model comes in a black box with handle, which is again wrapped in
plastic and packed into a cardboard box. The inner box has two tablets
where all parts are placed in a foam material to prevent damage. None
the less some care is recommended when unwrapping the parts! We don't
cover any broken off parts!
The inner box can be used for storing the model too. But only in
disassembled condition! The complete assembly is done by snap fit and
no tools or glue is needed.
We ship the model in the original package box, which has 8.3kg of weight!
Also we include an
additional instruction to the model, which contains information on the
landing gear assembly and some addditional hints!
