Initially deployed, its main mission was fleet air defense, but from the 1980s it was equipped with a reconnaissance camera pod and also engaged in reconnaissance missions. From the 1990s it also demonstrated its capabilities in ground attack, and from the late 1990s it was equipped with a Lantern targeting pod and laser-guided bombs, making long-range precision attacks possible. After that, its equipment was further enhanced, and the Tomcat evolved into a multirole fighter with excellent ground attack and reconnaissance capabilities. The first production model F-14A was equipped with a P\u0026W TF30 engine, but the F-14B was fitted with a GE F110-GE-400 engine. The further improved F-14D featured a digital radar fire control system, extending its detection range and increasing processing speed. The F-14D, the final production model in the series, had 55 aircraft produced and began deployment in 1992. It played a vital role in patrol missions in southern Iraq, counter-terrorism operations in Afghanistan, and air support and reconnaissance during the Iraq War. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Manufacturer: Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Item No: 61118\u003cbr\u003e\r\n Scale: 1\/48\u003cbr\u003e\r\n JAN: 4950344611188\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Remarks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n [Model Specifications]\u003cbr\u003eThis is a plastic model assembly kit of the F-14D, the final 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, which are the 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 D-type features, such as the F110-GE-400 engine nozzles, the vertical stabilizer reinforcement plates, and the parallel chin pods on the underside of the nose, are modeled in detail. ★A wide variety of armament is included, such as laser-guided bombs, GPS-guided bombs, lantern pods, reconnaissance camera pods, jamming pods, and late-model air-to-air missiles. ★Various combinations of armament are possible, from fleet air defense to ground attack and reconnaissance configurations. ★The reconnaissance camera pods also include parts for the internal cameras. ★Metal stickers reproducing the side reinforcement panels of the aircraft are also included. ★In addition to the ejection seat exclusive to the D-type, a figure of a current US Navy pilot without a visor case is also a highlight. ★Four types of markings for US Navy aircraft are included. \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":46406750109854,"sku":"4950344611188","price":85.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7620\/6750\/files\/4950344611188.jpg?v=1768538893","url":"https:\/\/tsurumai-hobby.com\/products\/4950344611188","provider":"TSURUMAI HOBBY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
