1/72 Grumman F-14d Tomcat War Bird Plastic Model Kit

Tamiya's 1/48 scale F-14D Tomcat model kit is one of their most detailed modern plane kits they've produced. They've now taken what has been learned from its development and production to bring model builders the same level of detail to their popular 1/72 scale lineup while also providing a streamlined building experience!
The Tomcat enjoyed an active career from the early 1970s until 2006; initially given a fleet defense role, in the 1990s the Tomcat's superb range saw that role expanded to include strike missions, and then later that decade the addition of the LANTIRN targeting pod meant it could undertake long-range bombing runs using laser-guided ordnance. The F-14D was the final variant, which inherited its F-14B predecessor's General Electric F110-GE-400 engines and was given major upgrades to avionics. It reached units from 1992, serving in the skies over Iraq and Afghanistan. It finally retired from U. S. Navy service in 2006.
Variable sweeping wings are depicted!
Distinct parts - interchangeable after completion - depict sealing plates and air bags with the wing in various positions.
Canopy, air intake side sections and fuselage sides are slide molded to ensure their shapes and surfaces are accurately depicted.
Horizontal stabilizers move thanks to poly caps.
The modeler has a choice of open and closed fuel probe (on the right of the nose) and boarding ladder and step (on fuselage left).
Parts are included for recreating laser-guided bombs, LANTIRN pod and air-to-air missiles.
The model comes with 2 seated crew figures and 5 U. S. Navy marking options.
