Tamiya Grumann F-14A Tomcat Late Model Launch Set (1:48 Scale)

Built around the US Navy’s long-serving F-14 Tomcat, this Tamiya Grumman F-14A Tomcat Late Model Launch Set recreates a late-production A-type aircraft configured for aircraft-carrier departure. The 1:48 scale kit captures the distinctive launch posture, with the nose lowered and the variable-geometry wings set forward, supported by key deck equipment to stage a catapult scene.

Late-model details are represented, including the chin pod with camera and the electronic warfare antenna. A paper sheet is included to depict an aircraft carrier flight deck, while a choice of two catapult spreaders (shuttles) allows the front pedestal to be set up to suit the display. The set also includes a broad selection of stores, plus cockpit parts and two crew figures in late-spec equipment, making it a considered option for modellers who enjoy building a complete launch vignette.
