The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a hallmark of naval fighter design, created for the United States Navy's VFX initiative. This twin-engine, supersonic aircraft earned a reputation for fleet defence and air superiority during its operational life. The F-14A variant is notable for its variable geometry wings and dual-crew layout.
Tamiya's 1/48 model reproduces distinctive Tomcat features and surface detailing. The completed fuselage spans 398mm, and the wingspan varies from 212mm to 408mm depending on wing sweep. The kit offers adjustable swing wings with a working range near 20 to 75 degrees. Builders can model the aircraft with landing gear extended to show a grounded configuration.
Parts are supplied to capture differing airbag and sealing plate profiles, and the clear canopy can be displayed open. A boarding ladder and steps are included with placement options. Decals support three liveries: two U.S. Navy squadron patterns and one from the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force, so you can pick the look you prefer.
