Italeri 1/48 F-14 A Tomcat model brief

The Italeri 1/48 F-14 A Tomcat kit is built for scale enthusiasts who want to recreate the jet's iconic lines. At this scale the aircraft's fuselage and wing sweep mechanism are clearly represented, ideal for display and reference models.

Service background and impact

Grumman developed the F-14 A Tomcat for the U.S. Navy; its maiden flight was on December 21, 1970 and it entered service in 1973. The type earned recognition for its avionics and variable-geometry wings and saw action in areas including the Gulf of Sirte and conflict zones in the Middle East.

Assembly and finishing notes

This Italeri kit provides parts that capture cockpit detail, landing gear and wing joints at 1/48 scale. It is best suited to builders comfortable with glue assembly, sanding and painting to highlight the moulded detail.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Length: 39 cm
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for authenticity

Is this Italeri 2667 suitable for first time builders?

While possible for a determined beginner, the kit is better for modellers with some experience due to small parts and the need for neat painting to achieve a good finish.

Can I pose the wings in swept or unswept positions?

The kit represents the variable-sweep wing geometry visually, but final wing position depends on your assembly approach. Dry fit first to plan the pose before gluing.

What tools make this build easier?

A hobby knife, fine files, sanding sticks, precision tweezers and model cement will speed assembly. A small paintbrush set and fine masking tape help with accurate paintwork.
