Hasegawa 01544 - 1/72 F-14A Tomcat Atlantic Fleet U.S. Navy Carrier Fighter Model Kit - Builder Friendly 1/72 Tomcat  [HA-01544]

Hasegawa 1/72 F-14A Tomcat - Compact scale naval jet

The Hasegawa 1/72 F-14A Tomcat model brings the classic carrier-based interceptor into a manageable scale. Its variable-sweep wings and twin-engine layout are faithfully reproduced, giving modellers a realistic foundation to build and detail.

Significance and kit character

The Tomcat was a cornerston e of carrier air defence, with strong ties to Atlantic Fleet squadrons. This kit captures key profile lines and control surfaces, making it a satisfying subject for both tabletop displays and grouped collections of 1/72 aircraft.

Build process and finishing tips

The mouldings include fine detail and decals that help recreate period markings. Take care with panel alignment and seam filling, then use light weathering to bring out surface detail and make the completed model stand out on a shelf or diorama.
