F-14B -LowVis Ferris Variation-
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Once you start you just can't stop. Here is yet another Ferris-camouflaged F-14, this time painted in a low-visibility gray palette for the F-14B. Other than VF-1 and VF-2, Ferris camo was also briefly tested with other squadrons, including VX-4, the PMTC, and VF-124.
Note that the trials to evaluate the Ferris camouflage pattern were over by the time the F-14B / F-14A+ was first pressed into service. While it's EXTREMELY unlikely that any F-14B wore Ferris camo, I just did this to add more variety, I guess.
Unlike VF-1 and VF-2, the other squadrons' Ferris camouflage appears to have been done up in a different palette, FS35237/FS36320/FS36375 (which some may recognize was later used for the Tactical Paint Scheme). The splinter application is also a bit of a mix-up, taking the left wing/stabilator from the VF-1 pattern (somewhat) and the underbelly from the VF-2 pattern. This example also applies VF-124's signature tailmarks and wing stripes (seen on their early F-14s) in black.
The markings for this particular variant appear to be a trial done for VF-124 "Gunfighters", the F-14's Pacific Fleet Replacement Squadron. Somewhat deviating from the livery's low-visibility intent, it features the Gunfighters' signature wing stripes and tail flash in contrasting black, complete with the stylized "NJ" tailcode indicating their home station at NAS Miramar / "Fightertown USA".
