Very good work on that paint job. Did you do it from pictures?

Iran has about 20 F-14A in flying condition at any one time. The F-14A in the USN was taking almost 17 hours of maintenance per flight hour in 2003 when they were phased out. Iran its probably longer.

Thank you guys, Matt12, all the colours I used are listed above in the write up I did about the kit. Decals are after market FCM. cnq…, look out for the intakes, they are pretty bad if you want to make seamless, lots of work.
