US Naval Reserve fighter squadron VF-201 was established at NAS Dallas on 25 July 1970. It flew the F-8H Crusader and in 1976 transitioned to the F-4N Phantom II and later the F-4S version. In 1987 they transitioned to the F-14A and were the last Navy squadron to fly the F-4.
The two Hunter aircraft on this sheet are two of the more colorful CAG jets that have flown with this squadron. The F-14A represented is in the last scheme that was worn for it’s fini- flight to AMARG upon the Tomcat retirement while the F-4N scheme adorned this AC in 1977.
There are enough markings for both complete aircraft. There were not many stencils on this particular F-14 but there was a lot of graffiti that adorned this jet for it’s fini-flight.
Stencils for the F-4N can be sourced from the excellent selection that are part of the Tamiya boxing of this kit.
