We are delighted to announce that the F-14D Tomcat – already a popular
Tamiya assembly kit in 1/48 scale (Item 61118) – is now being released in 1/72 scale.
This is in fact the first Tamiya-designed Tomcat in the 1/72 War Bird
Series, which of course offers the modeler a streamlined assembly experience without letting up on the detail.
The Tomcat enjoyed an active career from the early 1970s until 2006;
initially given a fleet defense role, in the 1990s the Tomcat’s superb
range saw that role expanded to include strike missions, and then later
that decade the addition of the LANTIRN targeting pod meant it could undertake long-range bombing runs
using laser-guided ordnance.
The F-14D was the final variant, which inherited its F-14B predecessor’s
General Electric F110-GE-400 engines and was given major upgrades to
avionics. It reached units from 1992, serving in the skies over Iraq and
Afghanistan. It finally retired from U.S. Navy service in 2006.
