Dick thanks again for the Sea King Decals. You were right. It is a tough kit I have already taken the thing apart a couple of times. I just went to Aeromasters website. They still have it listed on their site, but your right it is OOP.However if patterns are correct they may reprint them at some point. There is another set, I don't know who made or makes it, but it had the pin up girl and was called "Miss Molley," it was a little nicer than that one, you may want to consider hunting that one down. Check ebay, they sometimes surface there. The other way to go is if you just want that paint scheme, in 1/48, scale try getting your hands on the Hasegawa F-14A Pacific fleet squadron release. There are five different aircraft offered on that sheet, two from VF-154 Black Knights, two from VF-21 Freelancers all off the Constellation I belive and then the one you are looking for as well. Other kits that had that or similar set of markings included one from Monogram, one from Fujimi, altough after seeing the kits from Hasegawa I will never buy either one of those again, and Testors might of had one, although I am really not sure on that one. One will turn up eventually. I have the sheet from Fujimi But I am going to use it on one of Hasegawe Toms I am currently trying to finish, there are four aircraft on that sheet, and I have yet to decide which one I am going to use. One is the one from VF-111, one is from VF-41, one is CJ Heater Heatley's plane, ((Which I will do eventually when my skills are better)(He is the one who published the book "The Cutting Edge," which had a big impact on the movie Top Gun)), as well as one from VF-84. So they are out there you just need to know were to look. Good luck. Thanks again. Take care.
