Detailed model kit.
Glue and Paints not included.
Easy to follow instructions.
Kit suitable for ages 14 to adult.

This is a 1/72 Plastic F-14A Tomcat US Navy Swing Wing Fighter from Academy Plastics. The failure of the F-111B to meet the requirements set forth by the Navy for their new basic fighter resulted in heated competition for a suitable
carrier based plane. Variable-sweep wings were not a part of the new specifications, but Grumman proposed this still-new feature on their entry because of their experience with them. The capable production version could cut its width in half thanks to the inclusion of the variable-sweep wings.

Features:

• Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in gray 
• The surface of the plane is decorated with fully engraved panel lines and rivet detail 
• Highly detailed cockpit interior includes a seat, controls, and gauges 
• Adjustable sweep wings are functional and realistic
• Intricate landing gear system is complete with every detail 
• The Tomcat is no slouch when it comes to equipment 
• complete with bombs, missiles, and an extra fuel cell
• Modelers have the choice of one of two different jet exhaust cones 
• Clear plastic canopy allows close inspection of cockpit 
• Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly
