1/72 F-14A Tomcat: compact scale of a carrier legend

The F-14A Tomcat is instantly recognisable for its swing wings and twin engines. Hasegawa has reproduced those defining features in 1/72 scale, giving modellers a compact but accurate representation of the U.S. Navy carrier fighter.

Assembly notes and presentation tips

Parts are engineered for close detail, and the high visibility markings make the completed build pop on display. Builders will encounter fine components that require steady hands and careful fitting. The model displays well on its own or as part of a carrier group.

Historical Context

Introduced in the 1970s, the F-14A became central to carrier aviation for air superiority and fleet protection. Its operational record and screen appearances have secured its place in modelling circles.

Specifications

Scale: 1/72
Material: Plastic

Will I need extra parts to display the Tomcat with wings swept?

The kit includes the components to pose control surfaces, but if you want a permanently swept or specific carrier stance, careful positioning and glue will be needed. Some modellers use clear stands for dynamic poses.

What paints are best for the high visibility scheme?

For authentic results choose acrylic or enamel paints matched to U.S. Navy colours. Test on scrap plastic first and apply decals after a satin or gloss base to reduce silvering.
