Grumman F-14A Tomcat, VF-31, Academy 1/72

I built this guy a long time ago. Definitely an Academy kit, but I can't recall who did the decals. I think it was Superscale.

Pretty much out of the box, it was a fairly pleasant build. The kit decals were rather plasticky for some reason and didn't work very well with setting solutions. Fortunately, the aftermarket decals covered for 90% of what I needed.

 
 I'm a big fan of Felix the Cat, so VF-31 naturally became my favorite squadron. Today they're VFA-31, flying F-18E out the the USS Abraham Lincoln (last time I checked).
