This could also be a nice background sound

:blowpar:
-
I canât wait to dance with an Iranian Tomcat though.
-
Good old times, good old music, legendary fighter jets! Not this stealth stuff , real fighter jets.

Thanks Stingray! Beautiful work and I hope you have a great 2018!

Happy New Year Tomcat lovers!!!

Frankly, if the accounts in Ospreyâs publication on F-14s in the Iran-Iraq war are accurate, Iâd love to fly an Iranian bird in that setting. Iâm sure by the time someone puts that theater together, Stingray will have the F-14A in working order.
Awesome stuff, guys.

The Persian Cats are something else no doubt - I read that book as well and if you read some of Saddam Husseinâs biographies in conjunction with some other stuff the numbers pretty much add up with what Cooper and the other cat put together in that book.
As for the model I caught that pun - well deserved :). Letâs just say when the D is done converting it to A-spec would involve:
- beaver tail
- engines/exhaust nozzles
- some antennas
- glove vanes
- engine shroud
- upper aft fuselage
- air ducts and gunports on front fuselage
âŚaaaand the pit :).
Either way no biggies - less than 20hrs.

THAT! 1997 VF-103, that AC in regular deployment trim looks even betterâŚone of my all time favs:
This being a very close second:

Hehe. If you can pull something like that off in 20hrs, Iâd call you amazing.
A really cool aviation blog by the name of âThe Boresightâ has some cool articles on Iranian F-14s - you might need to do a bit of scrolling to find them:

Hope the year continues to find you well @stingray_SIX_TWO
Cheers
