F14B Tomcat USN VF-101 Grim Reapers, AD101 "Tomato" NAS Oceana, VA 1995 (1:72) by Century Wings Diecast Fighters
Item Number: CW-001608
This special paint scheme represents the commander's plane of VF101 Grim Reapers Squadron in Sept 1995. The plane serial number 162923 was the flagship plane of this squadron with the specific red markings. It was nicknamed the "Tomato" but the color wasn't appreciated and after only a month it was re-painted. The Grim Reapers went on to fly the Tomcat's for almost 30 years before being disestablished in September 2005.
When collecting diecast models there is no sure bet on which models will become hard to find collector's items, but Century Wings maintains a remarkable record of hot models. Of the 72 models they have produced 62 were models that sold out on preorder or within the first 6 months of release. I can't think of another manufacturer that has that kind of winning streak. This model is sure to be another winner so please preorder soon.
