Detailed Look at the Academy F-14D 12590 Kit

The Academy 12590 1/72 USN F-14D VF-2 Bounty Hunters kit is aimed at enthusiasts who value scale accuracy and crisp moulding. The Tomcat's distinctive swing wings and twin nacelles are faithfully modelled for a convincing miniature.

Model History and Builder Interest

The F-14D served with advanced avionics and was a standout in naval aviation, while the VF-2 markings add collector appeal. Model makers will enjoy the balance of intricate parts and clear instructions during assembly.

Presentation and Finish

The kit's parts allow for realistic detail once assembled and painted. When fully finished, the 1/72 Tomcat makes a neat centerpiece for a display case or flightline scene.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Assembly includes fine components and requires careful trimming and test fitting; expect several evenings of work rather than a quick build.
The 1/72 scale is common, so many aftermarket resin or photoetch sets designed for F-14 kits will fit with minor adjustments.
Thin, even coats from an airbrush or spray can produce smooth finishes; apply primer first and consider pre-shading panel lines for depth.
