From the start of deployment in 1973 to the retirement in 2006, the F-14 Tomcat of the US Navy continued to fly as the world's strongest carrier-capable fighter. Developed as a fleet air defense fighter that combines a powerful radar and a long-range missile. Among them, the F-14A was the first mass-produced model to be produced most. During its long operation period, the A type has undergone various improvements in various parts of the aircraft. Since the latter half of the 1980s, which is classified as a late model, many of the F-14A are equipped with an engine with improved reliability, and a telephoto camera pod (AN / AXX-1 TCS) is installed under the nose. Enables enlarged display of distance targets. In addition, an AN / ALQ-126 ECM antenna that interferes with enemy radar waves has been added to the lower front surface of the wing glove. Some aircraft have been modified to operate TARPS (Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance Pod System) equipped with three types of cameras. Also, in the early 1990s, refurbishment to give ground attack capability began, and it became possible to mount a normal bomb under the fuselage. Later, by equipping the AN / AAQ-25 Lantern Target Pointing Pod, laser-guided bombs could also be operated, and the F-14A supported the US Navy as a multirole fighter capable of performing various missions. When the F-14 departs from an aircraft carrier, steam catapult assistance is required. It is connected to the catapult in a forward leaning posture with the nose down, deploys the variable main wing to the most forward position, and prepares for departure with the leading edge slats and flaps fully down. In addition, the departure work is supported by many flight deck personnel, and the catapult officer (shooter) plays an important role in directing the catapult injection work and giving the final instructions for departure.
Overall length 398 mm, overall width 408 mm. In addition to the parts that are indispensable for reproducing the F-14 just before the injection from the catapult, such as the main wings that actuated the moving blades and the contracted front pedestal, we also prepared a paper sheet that realistically expresses the aircraft carrier's flight deck. , You can enjoy the departure scene full of tension. Two types of catapult spreaders (shuttles) to be attached to the front pedestal can be selected. The main girder parts that support the left and right main wings are prepared by robust integral molding. Faithfully model the features of the late model such as the chin pod with a camera and the electronic warfare antenna. A wide variety of weapons such as normal bombs, laser-guided bombs, lantern pods, reconnaissance camera pods, and late-type air-to-air missiles are available. Ejection seats, main instrument panel, side console, etc. are fully reproduced with the late A type specifications. Includes 2 crew wearing late-spec equipment.
