Just shows you, to each their own - I think this is one of the best F14 schemes to date ...

I agree. According to a source book I have, The Black Aces were the only F-14 Squadron with a black nose. Very unique.

I think it looks good. It's most unusual seeing the black nose.

It's on a tentative want list for me (along with Grim Reapers and Sundowners). But the list changes every time I look at CW's web-site. Too many Tomcats to choose from! Now... if CW did a Wolfpack from circa 1978, well, that would be the Tomcat's meow!

Yup!.....and I'm agreeing with Panther on this one...Undoubtably for me, the least desirable of all the Tomcat schemes CW has put out to date. I was really hoping it would have been done as one of the Fast Eagle "Fitter killers" from the 1981 Gulf of Sidra incident.

I don't know why, but for the most part I've never cared for black noses on airplanes..........I wonder what the heck that's all about?

I suspect that too much self-reflection in front of the mirror may be the cause ...

I was wondering who was going to capitalize on that opportunity, and as usual you rise to the occasion admirably, Cardo...

BTW, I meant to say "ayuh" raher than "yup"....I'm going to be deported if I don't watch it....
