1:72 F-14 D Tomcat - Big Ed Set (for Tamiya Kits)

Grumman F-14D Tomcat Big Ed 1:72 - photo-etched parts and masks

Big Ed brings Eduard accessories together into a single package. It contains a collection of photo-etched parts to raise the level of detail and painting masks for accurate spraying. It is not an aircraft kit but a complete set of accessories for an injection-molded F-14D model in 1:72 scale.

The real subject

The Grumman F-14D Tomcat was the latest version of the American carrier fighter with variable-geometry wings. The two-seat, twin-engine aircraft served with the US Navy for the defense of formations as well as for strike duties. The D version brought more modern engines and avionics and stayed in service until the type was retired.

Use and fitting

• In the small scale work with tweezers and a sharp knife, and bond with super glue.
• The pre-painted self-adhesive photo-etched elements need no painting.
• The masks make spraying the canopy frames and other areas more accurate.

Who the collection is for

• modelers of modern American carrier aircraft
• builders of the injection-molded F-14D in 1:72 scale
• anyone who wants the photo-etch and the masks for one kit in a single box

The collection is an accessory, not a standalone model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
