Tamiya 61118 1/48 Grumman F-14D Tomcat Collector Scale Kit  [61118]

Overview of the Tamiya 61118 Grumman F-14D Tomcat Kit

The Grumman F-14D Tomcat holds an important place in naval aviation history, and Tamiya captures its lines and character in 1/48 scale. This kit focuses on authentic shapes and surface detail to satisfy builders who value accuracy and realism.

Scale Accuracy and Key Details

The model reproduces signature items like the F110-GE-400 engine nozzles and the vertical stabilizer stiffener plates with careful tooling. The pair of chin pods and the available weapon and pod options such as laser-guided bombs, standard bombs, LANTIRN and TARPS pods allow a faithful representation of the aircraft's combat fit.

Assembly Notes and Display Options

Included are two pilot figures in updated uniforms and newly detailed ejection seats, which make cockpit and diorama scenes more convincing. Four marking schemes give room for personalisation, and the parts count and fit provide a rewarding build for modelers with some kit experience.
