It employs variable-sweep wings that can automatically control the sweep angle of the main wing, achieving both high speed and excellent maneuverability. In addition, it combines a powerful radar fire control system (AN\/AWG-9) with Phoenix missiles with a range of 150km to achieve unparalleled interception capabilities. Of the 632 Tomcats produced in total, 477 of the initial production model, the F-14A, were produced for the U.S. Navy. Deployment to aircraft carrier groups began in 1973, and its first sortie was in the Saigon evacuation operation in 1975. After that, it played an active role in a wide range of missions in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other places. It was also exported to Iran. 79 aircraft were delivered by the late 1970s, and they fought valiantly in interception missions during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. Even today, the Iranian Air Force maintains them independently and deploys them on the front lines as the mainstay of its air defense. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: 61114\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/48\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4950344611140\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Notes\u003cbr\u003e\r\n [Model Specifications] \u003cbr\u003eThis is a plastic model assembly kit of the F-14A, an early production model of the F-14. ★1\/48 scale, overall length 398mm, overall wingspan 408mm (with wings forward). ★Based on meticulous research of the actual aircraft, the sleek and voluminous style is faithfully reproduced. ★The variable wings, its most distinctive feature, move in conjunction with each other. ★The airbags and sealing panels that fill the gaps between the wings and the fuselage in accordance with the movement of the wings are interchangeable, allowing you to enjoy both the forward and swept-back wing positions even after completion. ★The canopy, air intake sides, and fuselage sides are sharply reproduced using slide molds. ★The horizontal stabilizer is movable using polycaps. ★The engine nozzles can be selected between a constricted or fully open position. ★The refueling probe on the right side of the nose, and the boarding rudder and footrest on the left side can be selected to be open or closed. ★Includes a total of three markings: two for US Navy aircraft from the 1970s and one for Iranian Air Force aircraft from the 1980s. \u003cbr\u003eThe photo shows the kit assembled and painted.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n","brand":"tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46465781956766,"sku":"4950344611140","price":77.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7620\/6750\/files\/4950344611140.webp?v=1770002908","url":"https:\/\/tsurumai-hobby.com\/products\/4950344611140","provider":"TSURUMAI HOBBY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
