Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat Model Kit (TAM61114)

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft developed for the United States Navy. It was created following the collapse of the F-111B project and was the first of the American teen-series fighters, designed using insights gained from air combat against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War. This model kit represents the F-14A Tomcat variant, the initial two-seat, all-weather interceptor fighter used by the U.S. Navy. Originally flown on December 21, 1970, the F-14A served dual roles as a long-range interceptor and air superiority fighter before later also being used as a bomber. It was in service from 1974 to 2006 and was known for its unique “swing wing” design, allowing variable sweep capabilities. The F-14A is the most widely produced variant, with 79 units exported to Iran before diplomatic relations soured, and it was involved in the Iran-Iraq War. – **Package Dimensions:** 41.0 cms (L) x 29.6 cms (W) x 8.6 cms (H) – **Product Type:** Non-Riding Toy Vehicle – **Country of Origin:** Japan This model kit requires paint and assembly to display the intricate details of this renowned aircraft.
