Hi there,

you can choose between 15 Tomcats so far (if you can get the retired ones that is).

I don't have the E399 but I've seen it in the flesh.

I do prefer the older, more brightly painted schemes. One among the best is definitely the B808 "Jolly Rogers"!

If you are more into unique paint schemes try the Aggressors or the high gloss black one. Numbers are B236, B239 and B237.

Another good one is the B561 "Flir Cat" which has two LGBs underneath.

Hope this helps!

AA

Re: F-14 what to buy

Accuracy-wise, I would suggest only F-14A's.

I've got the "Jolly Rogers" (B11B808) and like it a lot.
