X-man Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) 1980 paint scheme of the VF-51 "Screaming Eagles". The VF-51 only flew the F-14A and was disestablished in 1995, so they never flew the later versions of the Tomcat.

TheGuardian Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 As I fly with AG-51 now, can't wait to get these skins man. Loving the pilot and Rio details with the suit and helmet. Guy we got doing them is a tool.
AG-51_Razor Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 That's really great X-man! The Guardian may be a tool, but he's OUR tool and we like him!:thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

You people and your A paints on a B *face palm*

GrizzlyBear83 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 You have the wrong patches on there, and the helmets are wrong. You people and your A paints on a B *face palm* Why do you care what other people do? Will it effect you in any way? Joy kill. Good looking skin.
X-man Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 You have the wrong patches on there, and the helmets are wrong. You people and your A paints on a B *face palm* Haha, sure, I find it hard to aquire proper sources for what patch the pilots were wearing. If you have the info, I'd be happy to change it. As for the helmets, yeah, the eagle is not white and I've yet to add stripes in the back. It's close enough though... Anyway, I don't really take skinning that serious ;) 64th Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 135.181.115.54

You people and your A paints on a B *face palm* It's such a bizzar statement that I can't help but think he was trying to pay you a tongue in cheek compliment. :doh: Anyway, if he wasn't, he should have been. Graeat job X-man!! and thank you. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
X-man Posted May 4, 2019 Author Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Fictional 1997 variants Here's my take on the fictional VF-51 in 1997, having transitioned to the F-14B. Note that the 1980 version features the more "creamy" paint scheme. The pack includes CAG, XO, Line and Line alternate skins. I also switched the patches so the Squadron insignia is on the chest, the tomcat patch on the left shoulder and the F-14 patch on the right. * I've already corrected the Eagle/star on the back so that the stripes doesn't penetrate the star...

The patches look good on this one and I do apologize I was wrong about the helmets. I should have done more research but what I could find was only the white helmets. Nice work, look forward to seeing them on the A in the future.

AG-51_Razor Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 Fargging BEAUTIFUL X-Man!! Thanks man! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Mrjollyroger103 Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) I have some patches for you from my personal collection that they use to wear. The tactical fighter bomber patch is from the 90s right before they went away and the other one is another triangle patch they use in the 80s. Edited May 5, 2019 by Mrjollyroger103
X-man Posted May 6, 2019 Author Posted May 6, 2019 Most likely, I will be uploading the pack today 64th Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 135.181.115.54
AG-51_Razor Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 They look awesome X-Man! Thank you for showing VF-51 some love!! :pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

LanceCriminal86 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 I might need to pick your brain, I was hoping to do VF-201 who had a similar scheme but am having a shortage of resources to use as templates for the tails and the black anti-glare.

Tomcatter87 Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Really cool! So far I'd avoided using classic F-14A skins on the B, but now I really enjoy them. Great work!
