General Background
The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a twin-engine aircraft with variable sweep wings for supersonic flight. It has a pilot and a radar intercept officer who handle navigation, target acquisition, ECM, and weapons. The Tomcat was used by the United States Navy and the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force. Its name "Tomcat" comes from Vice Admiral Thomas Connolly's call-sign, following the tradition of naming Grumman aircraft after felines.
The Aircraft
VF-102 "Diamondbacks" was established on July 1, 1955, as VA-36 and quickly became VF-102. In June 1994, it got the F-14B. From September 19, 2002, to March 27, 2002, VF-102 was on the USS Theodore Roosevelt supporting "Operation Enduring Freedom." During "OEF," VF-102 had 5,000 combat missions, dropped 680 bombs, and guided 50,000 pounds of precision munitions. After 159 days at sea, VF-102 converted to the F/A-18F. In 2003, the F-14B was moved to VF101.

Sir
Magnificent. Securely packed and top quality. Very nice model. For me 10/10. It was exactly as described on the website. Many thanks.
Great piece, instructions could be clearer
The model is actually a 10/10...it is an incredibly beautiful piece. 1/2 star removed for instruction clarity. In short: IM MAVERICK...YOU CAN BE GOOSE!!! I broke it the first day. The instructions give the impression the pylons can be removed. I was able to fix it but i just wish the instruction card was a little clearer that those should not be removed. the back is also blank, a waste of space that couldve been used to give other load-out options. Other than my brain fart...a very well molded, painted and put together piece. Id buy it again.
TOP quality!!
This premium F14 model is absolutely top quality! Very heavy metal and with the ability to move the wings in and out, it is a masterpiece!! Highly recommend you will not be disappointed!
Good model
Excellent model very heavy
