Trumpeter 03918 1/144 US Navy Grumman F-14B Tomcat
This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.
The F-14 Tomcat followed a history of "Cats" in the military. The F4F Wildcat and the F6F Hellcat fought in the skies years before the Tomcat ever bit the air. In the late 1960s, the US Navy dropped its TFX program, and decided to focus on an aircraft dedicated to fleet defense. Grumman had already begun developing the F-14, and was definitely headed for a "Cat" designation. The person responsible for this project was Admiral Tom Conolly, Deputy Chief, Naval Operations for Air. The aircraft was dubbed "Tom's Cat" long before the official name of "Tomcat" was ever adopted.
The kit consists of over 60 parts , 1 clear part for canopy and windscreen
- fuselage&wing with finely engraved panel lines
