Introducing a Tomcat release like no other! Over time, we've gathered F-14 panels from various sources and collectors. Among them, panels from BuNo 161869 (Splinter) bore the mark 'A/C 11' after being removed from a scrapped aircraft. Unlike the fleet, NSAWC (Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center) employed a 2-digit modex. Splinter was NSAWC 20, while NSAWC 11 belonged to BuNo 159873, used during the Tomcat's retirement in Fallon. Thanks to dedicated Tomcat and movie enthusiasts, we found images of Splinter being scrapped alongside NSAWC 11 (159873) in the early 2000s. This aircraft, apart from serving in multiple USN fleet squadrons and NSAWC (Top Gun), was also used in the original 1986 Top Gun film, bearing Cougar, Merlin, and iconic 'VF-1' squadron art. JETs Vol. 25-32 features tags cut from two panels, available in 8 variants commemorating 159873's use at NSAWC and VF-1: NSAWC Grey, White, Green, Raw, Stab, VF-1 Grey, and VF-1 Stab. VF-1 Grey JETs come with modex 03, used during filming, while NSAWC JETs bear modex 11. Card art for 25-32 F-14s is by James Martin. Additionally, we've created a limited run of 50 MiG-28 JETs and a few Traps, cut from F-5 fuselage skin and accompanied by a card designed by Ryan Quickfall. These are a separate 50 JETs release, not included in the 200 F-14A JETs run.
