1/144 F-14D Tomcat
Trumpeter 1/144 F-14D Tomcat is a plastic kit of the US Navy carrier-based fighter. It has over 60 parts, with the canopy and windscreen moulded as a single clear part. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The F-14D Super Tomcat was the final version of Grumman's variable-sweep carrier fighter. Compared with the original F-14A it received more efficient General Electric F110 engines, new digital avionics with a glass cockpit and the Link 16 datalink. The US Navy flew it until the Tomcat was retired in 2006.
According to the manufacturer the Trumpeter kit in 1/144 scale contains over 60 parts plus one clear part for the canopy and windscreen. The fuselage and wings feature finely engraved panel lines. The finished model is about 132 mm long, so it fits a small display case and suits a collection of modern fighters in a uniform scale.
The naval grey scheme with colourful squadron markings on the fins looks elegant even in this small scale; subtle shading brings out the engraved panels. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
