About product

Grumman F-14B Tomcat 1:144 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American carrier fighter Grumman F-14B Tomcat in 1:144 scale from Trumpeter. The model has finely engraved panel lines, a tandem cockpit and wings that can be built in the spread as well as the swept position. The box also contains pylons with guided air-to-air missiles. Despite the small scale it is a detailed model of a popular aircraft.

The real subject

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat was an American two-seat carrier fighter with variable-sweep wings, intended to defend the carrier groups. The F-14B version received more powerful engines, which removed a number of the shortcomings of the original powerplant. The Tomcat became famous for its armament of long-range guided missiles and its ability to engage targets at great distances; later it took on a ground attack role as well.

Building and painting tips

Use thin cement for plastic and work in subassemblies. Finish the cockpit and the seats before closing the fuselage and think out the position of the wings. Apply primer before varnishing; the gray US Navy finishes come out best sprayed with an airbrush with soft transitions and a light wash into the engraved lines. Add the pylons and the armament only once the airframe is varnished, and mask the cockpit glazing.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of carrier and modern combat aircraft in 1:144 scale
  • Fans of the US Navy and of the F-14 Tomcat
  • Modelers who will appreciate movable wings and fine lines
  • Anyone after a striking model for a smaller display case

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes. The variable-sweep wings can be built in the spread as well as the swept position. It is best to think the position out before gluing.

The F-14B version received more powerful and more reliable engines than the original powerplant of the first Tomcats. Outwardly it is the same airframe with variable-sweep wings.

The box contains pylons with guided air-to-air missiles. Check the actual mix in the instructions in the box. Paints and glue are not included.
