## Overview

The Tamiya 1:48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat Model Kit is a highly detailed plastic scale model representing the iconic twin-engine, variable-sweep wing fighter used by the U.S. Navy. Made in Japan, this kit requires assembly and painting, offering an immersive building experience for ages 16 and up. Perfect for collectors and hobbyists, it captures the essence of the F-14A’s role as a long-range interceptor and air superiority fighter.

## Description

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program following the collapse of the F-111B project. The F-14 was the first of the American teen-series fighters, which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War. ??This specific model kit depicts the F-14A Tomcat variant. The F-14A was the initial two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather interceptor fighter variant for the U. S. Navy. It first flew on December 21, 1970. As a U. S. Navy fighter it fulfilled the dual roles of long range interceptor and air superiority fighter, and later bomber. Deployed from 1974 to 2006, it successfully employed a "swing wing", which offered variable sweep. The F-14A, which covers most of the early variants, was the most prolifically-produced variant of the Tomcat. 79 were exported to Iran before U. S. -Iranian relations began to deteriorate, and later took part in the Iran-Iraq War. ??Requires paint and assembly.
