Paint Scheme for US Navy Aggressors F-14B of VF-74 Be-Devilers
Posted by Tshan17 on Saturday, May 12, 2018 8:43 PM

I am in the process of building a Revell 1/32 scale F-14 and want to paint it in the camo scheme of the 1993-era F-14s of U.S. Navy Aggressor Squadron VF-74. Does anyone know the paint colors that make up this camo scheme for that squadron’s F-14s?

 

can someone tell me how to download a photo to my post? I thought I had attached one, but it did not go through. In the meantime, here is a link to a photo of the F-14 I am referring to in my post:

Thank you.

If I was gonna take a stab at this, I'd say it's FS 35237 and FS 36375.  More knowledgable people will probably be along shortly to correct my guesses.

 

EDIT:  This set of instructions for a Hasegawa VF-74 Be-Devilers F-14 says the following:

337 = 35237

308 = 36375

Check out this article: Here

Sound like they were painted in colors to simulate Russian Su-27's and MiG-31's.
