VF-84 F-14A Tomcat "Black Bunny"
Product number:
550239
Listprice:
€29.75
A completely black painted, also called “Vandy One” F-14A, with which the test team VX-4 back then went public, caused a furor in 1990. It flew the “Black Bunny” on the tail unit, the logo of Playboy magazine as the VX-4 squadron’s emblem, which was erased from the airplanes after the so-called “Tailhook scandal” at the beginning of the 90s. The reason being to improve the Navy’s image after an incident in 1991, in which US Navy pilots sexually harassed female guests after excessive alcohol intake. The “Vandy One” model has been approved to carry the “Black Bunny” and will be released in two variants with the item number 550239 for the closed cockpit and 550314, in a limited edition of 1,000 items, for the open cockpit version. As such, it cuts a very fine figure on a diorama with the commensurate Herpa accessories.
