Detailed Tamiya 1/32 F-14A Tomcat VF-154 Black Knights Overview

This 1/32 scale Tamiya model of the Grumman F-14A Tomcat, representing the VF-154 Black Knights, reproduces the jet's distinctive engineering in precise plastic detail. The Tomcat's swing wings and twin-tail layout are captured with care, making the kit appealing to aviation modellers and collectors focused on authenticity.

Operational History and Realistic Replication

The F-14A served both as an interceptor and strike platform and saw service with VF-154 in key operations such as Desert Shield. Tamiya's tooling aims to reflect the aircraft's operational look and historical markings so builders can recreate a faithful period example.

Build Features and Functional Details

The kit includes newly moulded parts to represent external antennas and sensor housings accurately. It also contains the AN/AAQ-14 LANTIRN targeting pod and selectable ordnance like the GBU-16 and GBU-24 laser-guided bombs. The swing-wing mechanism is engineered to move, allowing low-speed and swept display positions.
