The description on the website says:

F-14A Tomcat 1/72 Die Cast Model
U.S. Navy VF-41 "Black Aces"


#0091364




Just curious,

Thanks, Ed

I don't know, but I certainly wouldn't give 40 bucks for it.

Didn't FOV bring out a Black Aces model recently?

Yes. Mine arrived today.

Tophat, your FOV Tomcat looks pretty nice. All you gotta do is paint the canopy hinges gray to match the fuselage, drill out the space on the nose strut and it'll be perfect!

That does look like Dragon's VF-41 F-14 .....It's so-so... But i kinda like Top Hats pictures of the VF-41 Black Aces FOV F-14 a little better.

Are you sure about that? Despite the accompanying caption, it sort of looks more like Armour's 1/48 example of a VF-41 Fitter-killer: http://www.flyingmule.com/products/FM-B11E400

I thought that Dragon was going to do Fast Eagle 107, rather than the (repainted) modex 101 that's displayed here. Despite the problems with Dragon's F-14s, I'd really like a Fitter-killer in my collection. If the rumor that Century is going to do a VF-41 airplane is true, I wonder if we can prevail upon them to do "Gulf of Sidra 1981" rather than "The Final Countdown 1978"?

And TopHat, that FOV 1996 Black Aces airplane looks great...

...don't think so, as this is listed in Historic Aviation's catalog as 1/72nd scale with a price of $39.95...
It doesn't really look like a Draggin' Tomcat either though......unless they've gotten even cruder!!...
