Hi Dave,
My love affair with the Jolly Rogers' Tomcat started a long time ago as well. As
a child I had a model kit of this same aircraft. I've had a LEGO Tomcat ever
since I was a teenager and while I changed its markings over time, the Jolly
Rogers' markings, especially from the 'seventies remain among my favorite. Every
once in a while I would build a Tomcat with these markings, before changing them
into something else again. Recently it was in the markings of VF-41 Black Aces,
which can still be seen in the brickshelf folder. It got its latest markings in
December last year.
Cheers,
Ralph
