Saw a thread around a little while back about a TOS/SFB F-14 model and got to thinking:

Federation TMP F-14

a comparison with the orignal design

^{(Image of TOS F-14 courtesy of original owner, sorry, can't remember who, my bad!)}

AND... different squadrons

VF-1 Wolfpack
Call sign - Wichita

VF-31 Tomcatters
Call sign - Tomcat

VF-84 Jolly Rogers
Call sign - Victory

I'll add more squadrons later

Also working on the A10/20 with the Photon launcher, and have a rough idea for the drone laiden F-111

Hey if your going to do an F14 sqn could you do VF111, I used it as a base for the sqn logo on my sig.

STOP teasing us Thulls! That is so not fair of you to post super cool models of yours and no D/L information or ETA. LOL

I wrote it before and I do believe that ADB should hire you to make TMP designs if they ever are able to move Starfleet Battles out of TOS era.

Those fighters are awesome!

BTW: Whats up with the Lyrans you were working on? I haven't seen any Trimarans yet.

Qapla!

I love the F-14!

are these canon from a sci-fi series or just something you decided to build?

Nah, just something I decided to build. I started with the Klingon Z1 to be honest, mainly because I needed one for the Lyran's I've been working on and it went from there. Never been really keen on the original SFC Fed fighter and that TNG peregrin thingy I think just look ugly. The paint jobs for the F-14's are taken from current day F-14's, this site http://www.f-14association.com/squadrons.htm has details on the squadrons and examples of there paint schemes. The A10 and F-111 will be done in a similar vein as well

Holy Top Gun, Batman! Outstanding, Thu! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!! Btw, I was the one that put up the thread regarding the F-14. I've always felt that fighters have been rather neglected as model projects over the years. So glad to see you taking this on! I see that you mentioned doing up the A-10/20 and the F-111 as well. I don't suppose you're incliined to do the whole line up, and include the F-18 (historically the most numerous Fed fighter) and the F-15?

I love the addition of the squadron emblems, that is a really nice touch. I was wondering if you could also do versions sans any emblems, for those of us with our own personal emblems. Then again, maybe that's just me, lol. The reason I ask is that, over the years, I've done up ship and squadron emblems for my Fed fleetmates (Federation Protection Fleet) as well as for other Fed players of the D2 (if interested, you can view my work in this thread in the D2 forum.

Again, thank you! I am sooo looking forward to seeing more!

These are wonderful, Thu11s. For a while I wanted to find a TMP fighter that could be plausable yet Trek-ish and worthy of replacing the base fighters, and I have found it. Heck, even if they won't be available for any SFC game, just looking at the pictures alone is good enough for me! The Klingon/Lyran fighter looks pretty good in itself as well. Good work, and thanks very much.

Please release them. I want those ships.

Swordsman · « **Reply #15 on:** November 14, 2004, 02:36:27 pm »

Very very nice redesign of a classic SFB fighter. I'll have to snag this one. I like your Jolly Rogers scheme, though I am partial to Tomcat squadrons that actually did something other than look pretty in movies. If you want to do sister squadrons to match, VF-41 Black Aces, VF-2 Bounty Hunters, and VF-11 Red Rippers were the match-ups respectively. Though I'd love to see a VF-143 Pukin' Dogs/VF-142 Ghostriders set. Nice work.

besides VF-111 is a reserve squadron, and the patches tom cruise wore for his supposed squadron he was in only 2 were for F-14 sqaudrons

the rest were for E2c squadrons. i know this because i was station at miramar, my hanger was next to VF-111's hanger.

Swordsman · « **Reply #17 on:** November 15, 2004, 09:35:11 am »

I thought that VF-111, the Sundowners, had been disestablished in '95 along with half the fleet. VF-201, -202, -301, and -302 were the reserve F-14 squadrons. And I know for a fact the schemes frome Top Gun weren't even from Tomcat squadrons. Iceman's jet had VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet tail art, and Maverick's was from the VAW-110 Redhawks, an E-2C squadron.
