Historical information about the F-14A Tomcat

The F-14A Tomcat is an American carrier-based interceptor and multirole fighter, developed by Grumman for the United States Navy. The aircraft was used by the US Navy from 1974 until 2006 and played key roles during the Cold War, as well as in modern conflicts, such as operations over the Persian Gulf and NATO interventions. The silhouette of the F-14A has become iconic in military aviation, primarily thanks to its variable-geometry wings and, for its time, cutting-edge avionics.

The resin parts guarantee a sharpness of detail not available in plastic equivalents.
