Description
Experience the thrill of assembling the iconic F-14A Tomcat in 1/48 scale, a masterpiece collaboration between Italeri and Platz. First taking to the skies in 1970 and entering operation in 1974, the F-14 Tomcat served as the U.S. Navy's premier carrier-capable fighter until its retirement in 2006. Designed primarily for fleet defense, this formidable aircraft was armed with long-range AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, short-range air-to-air missiles, Sidewinders, and an M61 Vulcan cannon to neutralize threats from enemy vessels. Its AN/AWG-9 radar system, capable of tracking up to 24 targets simultaneously over a distance of 160km and engaging six targets at once, was a key feature for its operational success. The Tomcat's distinctive variable wing geometry, adjustable between 20 and 68 degrees, allowed for exceptional STOL performance and high-speed capabilities.
This model kit brings Italeri's renowned attention to detail and precision to a broader audience, complete with a brand-new Japanese manual and packaging. After assembly, you can adjust the variable wings to your liking, and marvel at the intricately detailed landing gear, storage bay, and cockpit. The kit also includes high-quality decals by Cartograf for three versions from the 1970s: the VF-1, VF-2, and VF-84 Jolly Rogers. Plus, a canopy masking sheet is provided to assist in your painting process. Make this exquisite model a centerpiece of your collection today!
