An IRIAF Tomcat is on my to-do- list, but I don't have the right decals. I even got the squadron "F-14A in Iranian service" book!

Had a quick look in my Osprey book about Iranian Tomcats. Yes they where A´s and after the Shah retreated, all upgrade packs for becoming B´s was not send to Iran.

Thx for your informations,mates!
I did learning some lessons about the F-14 types, couple of minutes ago with a pot of hot an black coffe!
Now I can say, this must be early type A`s! This type is equipped with retractable wing glove vanes. These canards were deactivated and locked shut on the A and completely deleted on B and D.

A nice close up picture is the poster, picture No.4. There you can see them directly beside the air intakes in the leading edge of the wing.

Exactly Michael, Iranian F-14s have the record of longest insant flight due to being used as AWACSs.11:36 refueled several times a flight. So Iraqi pilots mostly did blind bombing and returen home as soon as they could.

I bet most people don't know that Grumman and McDonnell Douglas Had a serious competition to sell their F-14s or F-15s to iran. It was vital for Grumman to sell its Tomcats because of the lack of budget. And finally they win it! If Iran hadn't bought F-14, it may be remain as a prototype!I'm so happy that this bird came to reality! 🙂

These pics rock!!! An IRIAF F-14A its in my top-5 todo list. And I had in mind of the Russian ordnance certification, but I nee to get info of which missiles are certified. The ICM Air-to-X ordnance kits are gonna look awesome on the Academy F-14A kit I have in stock!!!
Btw, any reference of the new grey-blue scheme? Either in Tamiya or Gunze would be nice 🙂
Cheers

Sebastjian and Vorya, thanks a lot. As for the Hawk SAM, when I saw the pic of an F-14 loaded with it, at first I though it was photoshop. Who was crazy enough do try something like this. Saying that as I spent months of my military service in one of the Hawk Batteries in Greece.
