F-14B -SCARFACE AGGRESSOR-
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
You run over to your Playstation eagerly, grasping the copy of Ace Combat 2 you just bought from Circuit City/EB Games/whereever people bought shit in the 1990s. After popping the disc in and sitting crosslegged in front of your 18 inch CRT, you marvel at the opening cinematic. What appears to be a blue/purple camouflaged Flanker in gorgeous 240p, taking off from an aircraft carrier. You blink. The wings start to... fold back...? Is that even a Flanker at all?
This is a livery for the F-14B Tomcat mimicking Scarface One's Su-35/Su-27M as featured in Ace Combat 2. The whole idea of this was taken from Red 31, which was an US TOPGUN aggressor F-14 painted to resemble an Su-27. Thanks to its unique color application, it was able to somewhat obscure the Tomcat's silhouette, making it more closely mimic that of a Flanker.
It does involve a little bit of headcanon, reimagining STFS "Scarface" as VFC-1, due to the FCU attempting to obscure the team's mercenary origins under the guise of an FCU aggressor/training squadron.
I also decided to do it as an F-14B since the AC2 model's nozzles indicate that it has the 14B's F110 engines instead of 14A's older TF30s.

SCARFACE AGGRESSOR:
- Recreation of the unique livery sported by "Phoenix", a mercenary hired by the FCU as a last-ditch measure. Phoenix flew under a spurious aggressor squadron designation assigned by his employers to obfuscate his true nature as a for-hire pilot. For skin slots 7 and 8.
