Hasegawa 1/48 F-14A Tomcat - A Modellers Homage to Naval Fighters

The F-14A Tomcat is an iconic carrier aircraft from the 1970s, noted for its variable-geometry wings and twin-engine layout. Hasegawa's 1/48 kit recreates the Tomcats distinctive silhouette and offers modellers a faithful platform for a period-correct replica.

Build features and realistic touches

This kit is prized for crisp panel detail, a clearly defined cockpit section and flexible weapons options. The swing wing mechanism and twin-tail arrangement are faithfully represented, making the assembly satisfying for those who enjoy precise fitting and finishing.

Historical Significance

Used extensively by the U.S. Navy during the Cold War and later operations, the F-14A has a storied service record. This model delivers a hands-on way to engage with that history and display a well-known naval interceptor.

Yes, the cockpit has defined parts that accept additional paintwork and small aftermarket items if you choose to upgrade the instrument panels or seats.
The parts permit the appearance of the variable-sweep wings in a static pose. Builders can position the wings for either landing/takeoff or swept flight display.
Use fine masking for low-visibility markings and thin multiple coats of paint to preserve panel detail. Weathering washes and dry brushing help create a realistic service look.
