Eduard 32269 F-14D exterior TRUMPETER (1/32)

Eduard 32269 F-14D exterior TRUMPETER is a high-quality upgrade set dedicated to enhancing the 1:32 scale F-14D Tomcat fighter model. This product was specially designed for Trumpeter's kit, ensuring a perfect fit and extremely detailed reproduction of the external features of this legendary aircraft.

The F-14D Tomcat was a multirole, carrier-based fighter aircraft produced by the American company Grumman, serving as the backbone of the U.S. Navy's carrier aviation in the final period of the Cold War and throughout the 1990s. The F-14D is the latest and most advanced version of this aircraft, introduced in the early 1990s, featuring advanced avionics, General Electric F110 engines, and the upgraded AN/APG-71 radar.

The F-14D was used mainly by the United States from the 1990s to the mid-2000s, taking part in operations in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, providing air superiority, bomber escort, and precision fire support during numerous combat missions.

The presented Eduard 32269 set includes a photo-etched fret, made from high-quality stainless steel. The set focuses on external details: avionics covers, flaps, service panels, small elements of the landing gear, and armament. Altogether, it significantly enhances both the realism and the detail level compared to the original kit version.
