Since the Tomcat's arrival... it has been a myth all of it's own in the years that would follow it. Self made legend . Most noted of the VF84 and VF103 fighter groups both the Jolly Rogers and the Sluggers. Later would become known as VF103 Jolly Rogers.
Films have used this bird on a number of occasions ranging from the following The Final Countdown TopGun Executive Decision For more then 30 years the Tomcats have been superior fighters in both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. Airpower given durring the gulf war well up to 2008. G.I.Joe also had their Tomcat, renamed and redesigned as the XP-14F, still.. to many of us, the beloved Skystriker is still king of the skies for the joes. I had set out to work on a project which was a challenge to me durring !!SE!!'s visit with me, and that challenge led me to do a 5 part series of vehicles... The Vamp, Mobat, RAM cycle, Skystriker and U.S.S. Flagg. Here is the at hand project for those catching up. Behold.. Project in progress.. The G.I.Joe Skystriker! To give life to the Tomcat, I had gone through my ideas writing them down.. To pay homage to the original bird... The squardon will be VF-83 CVW-1 designation carrier CVN-99 U.S.S. FLAGG

Cockpit panels are wrong for D model BTW. Front one should have 2 MFD's, 1 central and the other to the side. Plus a HUD. Rear one, I think is off too(EDIT: it is). Who manufactured this model? The exterior looks ok but the internal cockpit stuff is inaccurate. Manufacturer basically made an F-14B with the F-14D's TCS/IRST chin pod.
