Hasegawa F-14A “VF-154 Black Knights Millenium”

A nice kit, especially for its HUGE decal sheet printed by Cartograf. From this standpoint it is much better than the Atsugi 25th Anniversary boxing, which is also included in this sheet
🙂
The kit in itself is the standard F-14A kit with engraved panel lines., with the addition of the N sprue for the NACA gun vents.

Hasegawa F-14A “VF-14 Tophatters”

This kit was given to me by Dan Jackson, a fellow ARCer. The decals are printed by Hasegawa, with their annoying backing paper that yellows the decals. Nothing some sun exposure should not be able to fix though. The markings are provided for two aircraft thirty-five years apart: A 1976 bicentennial scheme, and a 2001 CAG bird.
The box contains the standard F-14A sprues with engraved panel lines. plus the N sprue, which provides the NACA gun vents.
