Add precise photo-etched detail to your F-14A Tomcat

The Tamiya 12693 Detail Up Parts Set is a useful upgrade for builders wanting finer realism on a 1/48 F-14A Tomcat. The Tomcat is well known for its variable-sweep wings and twin-engine design, and these photo-etched components bring sharper surface detail and scale finesse to key areas of the model.

Why the F-14A appeals to scale modellers

The F-14A has a strong following among aviation model enthusiasts thanks to its naval role and distinctive silhouette. Reproducing its small features is a satisfying challenge for modellers who enjoy close-scale accuracy and historical subjects.

Why Choose Tamiya's Detail Up Parts?

Tamiya produces finely made accessories and this set contains photo-etched metal parts intended to upgrade cockpit fittings, landing gear bays, and external details. These pieces enhance the look of the finished kit and give a more professional result for those willing to take the time to fit them.

Is this photo-etch set suitable for newcomers to detail parts?
