Overview
The Grumman F-14A Tomcat was the US Navy's premier carrier-based fleet defense fighter for over 30 years. An icon of the Cold War, it was a Mach 2-capable, twin-engine interceptor famous for its variable-sweep wings. This innovative design allowed the wings to be swept back for high-speed supersonic flight and extended forward to generate more lift for slow-speed carrier landings and intense dogfights, making it a truly versatile aircraft.
This 1/48 scale model kit from Academy captures the power and complexity of this legendary aircraft. The kit features a detailed two-seat cockpit and landing gear compartments. It offers fantastic display options, allowing the builder to position the variable-sweep wings open or closed, and the landing gear and arrestor hook in the up or down positions. A full complement of under-wing weapons is also included for an authentic finish.
