Why this kit matters
The Grumman F-14 Tomcat served as the United States Navy’s primary fleet defence fighter from the 1970s until the mid 2000s. Designed for long range interception, it combined powerful radar with long range missiles to protect carrier battle groups.
The F-14D represented the final and most advanced version of the Tomcat, featuring upgraded engines, digital avionics, and improved reliability. Its service marked the end of an era before being replaced by newer multirole aircraft, securing the Tomcat’s place as one of the most recognised naval fighters in history.
