TAMIYA 1/48 GRUMMAN F-14A TOMCAT

Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat Plastic Model Kit

Build one of the world's most iconic carrier-based fighters with the Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat. Developed with access to real F-14A Tomcats for exceptional accuracy, this highly detailed plastic model kit captures the Tomcat's distinctive variable-sweep wings, two-seat cockpit and powerful weapons load in an impressive 1/48 scale.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

The F-14A was the initial two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather interceptor variant of the Tomcat and first flew on December 21, 1970. Serving the U.S. Navy in the dual roles of long-range interceptor and air-superiority fighter, the aircraft's variable-sweep wing provided an impressive combination of speed and manoeuvrability. The F-14A also saw service with Iran, with 79 aircraft supplied before the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
