- VF-2 (2nd Fighter Squadron), commonly known as the Bounty Hunters, was the first F-14 squadron reorganized with VF-1 when the F-14A entered service.
During the Vietnam War, the ship served aboard the aircraft carrier Enterprise, and participated in its first combat mission, assisting in the evacuation of Americans living in Saigon after the fall of the nation.
- In the 1980s, when the Cold War was at its most tense, US Navy aircraft began to switch to a blue-gray low-visibility camouflage called Countershade.
- However, with the end of the Cold War, the use of colorful paints on Navy squadron commander and CAG (Caviar Air Wing Commander) aircraft was relaxed in the late 1980s.

- This kit reproduces the colorful 1970s VF-2 aircraft in its original color scheme from 1988.
- This paint scheme was later applied to the replaced F-14Ds, and is now carried over to the converted F/A-18Fs.
