## Description

This is a model assembly kit of the Tomcat F-14D, which is an updated version of the aircraft that served until the Tomcat was withdrawn from Navy service in 2006. It featured an improved engine in the shape of the General Electric F110, and the aircraft's transition from the earlier carrier-based fighter models to the F-14D multi-role aircraft was facilitated by digital updates to radar and fire control systems. Some F-14Ds were newly-constructed, while conversions from F-14As also existed.Requires paint and assembly.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Gun Model
*by D***Y on September 20, 2025*

Fantastic model as usual from Tamiya! I am building my F-14 to honor the first Top Gun winners (Tuskegee Airmen). David Henry,MPH

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accuracy, detail.
*by R***B on October 30, 2024*

I haven't built it yet, but having watched build reviews, and inspecting the plastic, and instructions in the box, it looks amazing! It's typical high quality Tamiya!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent model.
*by D***. on September 1, 2019*

Having done only a few prior models, including one tamiya f-117, most were revell and academy, this model was a pleasure to build. At first the amount of parts and sprues can seem intimidating but its actually not that bad. I was able to assemble different sections, paint, weather, coat, decals, etc..then assemble all sections at the final step. This has been the only model that I've built were I could do this because there was very little sanding and no putty needed. Overall it's a great model, a little pricey but like most things you get what you pay for!
