Academy 12590 1/72 F-14D VF-2 Bounty Hunters Overview

The Academy 12590 1/72 USN F-14D VF-2 Bounty Hunters kit gives modellers the chance to recreate a classic naval fighter with precise panel detail and authentic markings. The Tomcat's swing-wing profile and twin-engine layout are well represented, making the finished model a solid display piece.

Why This Kit Appeals to Modellers

The F-14D Tomcat is noted for its avionics and combat role, and the VF-2 Bounty Hunters livery adds historical interest. Builders will find a satisfying level of detail in the sprues and clear assembly steps that reward careful work.

Scale Fidelity and Display Potential

Parts are crisply moulded to capture the aircraft's lines and structural features. After painting and marking, the completed 1/72 Tomcat presents well on a shelf or within a carrier deck diorama.
