WORLD WIDE SHOPPING MALL. Tamiya Grumman F-14A Tomcat Carrier Launch Set Model Kit Scale 1/48. Hair, Skin and Nails. 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Grumman F-14A Tomcat. The F-14 Tomcat is a legend of the skies, which served between 1973 and 2006 and – with powerful radar and long-range missiles – was developed for carrier-based units. Its most prolifically produced variant was the F-14A, which itself was given a number of upgrades throughout its production; late F-14As (those produced from the late 1980s) featured a more reliable engine design, and notably, the AN/AXX-1 TCS camera pod, plus the AN/ALQ-126 ECM antenna ahead of the wing gloves. Some even had alterations to the fuselage allowing installation of the TARPS reconnaissance pod. From the early 1990s, the aircraft was capable of mounting bombs on its belly; in conjunction with the AN/AAQ-25 LANTIRN pod, these were laser-guided – the F-14A had evolved into a multi-role fighter. Carrier launches required a steam catapult, to which the aircraft would be harnessed with its nose lowered, variable sweep wing forward, and flaps and slats down. Numerous flight deck crew would be engaged in the launch, including a “Shooter, ” who gave the signal for take-off. Model Fuselage Length: 398mm. Flowing form recreated with fixed depiction of variable sweep wing and deployed flaps/slats. Retracted nose landing gear parts recreate takeoff stance. Includes 2 types of catapult shuttle and paper flight deck sheet. Features one-piece rigid spar. Captures late model chin pod and antenna. Cockpit with late type ejector seats, instrument and side console panels. 3 Figures & 4 marking options. PAINTS AND GLUE NOT INCLUDED.
