Italeri 1414 - 1/72 F-14A Tomcat model briefing

The Grumman F-14A Tomcat stands out in naval aviation history, notable for its swing-wing configuration, twin vertical tails and tandem cockpit layout. Equipped with twin General Electric afterburning turbofans, the airframe could reach speeds around Mach 2.34. Armament typically included a 20 mm M61 Vulcan and long-range AIM-54 Phoenix missiles.

Assembly and detail

This 1/72 scale Italeri kit captures the main lines and operational features of the F-14A. Parts are moulded to provide clear panel lines and structure, giving hobbyists the chance to refine cockpit and external details during the build.

Operational legacy and showroom value

The F-14A saw action in several late 20th century conflicts and maritime confrontations. A finished Italeri model makes an effective display piece and helps recount the evolution of carrier-based fighters to visitors and fellow enthusiasts.
