Italeri 1414 - 1/72 F-14A Tomcat scale overview

The Grumman F-14A Tomcat is a signature U.S. Navy fighter from the 1980s and 1990s, recognised for its variable-sweep wings, twin-tail layout and tandem two-seat cockpit. Powered by twin General Electric afterburning turbofans, the type reached speeds up to Mach 2.34. Its combat fit commonly included a 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon and long-range missiles such as the AIM-54 Phoenix.

Kit features and building notes

This Italeri 1/72 scale kit reproduces the F-14A lines with attention to key details. The parts are arranged to give modellers a satisfying assembly experience, offering scope for careful painting and finishing to highlight the jet's distinctive silhouette.

Service history and display appeal

The F-14A served in several notable operations from maritime encounters to regional conflicts, and its operational pedigree is reflected in this model. Finished builds work well in display cases or alongside other 1/72 era aircraft to illustrate developments in naval aviation.
