Hasegawa E2 F-14A Tomcat Low Visibility (1/72) – plastic model kit

Hasegawa E2 F-14A Tomcat Low Visibility (1/72) is a precisely manufactured plastic model kit of the legendary carrier-based fighter jet F-14A Tomcat in 1:72 scale. This set comes from the renowned Japanese manufacturer Hasegawa and offers an accurate representation of the F-14A in the Low Visibility version, featuring distinctive muted gray paintwork that minimizes the aircraft’s visibility to enemies and advanced radar systems alike.

The F-14A Tomcat model was used mainly by the United States Navy from the 1970s up to 2006, and has gone down in history as one of the most recognizable carrier-based jets of the Cold War and modern era. It was known for its exceptional maneuverability and combat capabilities, with its first major combat trial during operations over the Gulf of Sidra by the USS Nimitz and USS John F. Kennedy carriers in the 1980s. The F-14A Tomcat also became famous during the Gulf Wars.

The model is made from high-quality plastic with a wealth of structural details: authentically reproduced fuselage panels, a cockpit with detailed instruments, air intakes, landing gear, external armament, and the option to position the wings in either take-off or combat configuration. The set includes decals for creating an impressive Low Visibility paint scheme and for marking a chosen US Navy squadron.
