About the Actual Aircraft:
- The F-14 Tomcat took its first flight in 1970 and served as a key air superiority fighter for the United States Navy from 1974 until its retirement in 2006.
- It was designed primarily as a carrier-based aircraft for fleet defense, with capabilities for long-range air-to-air missiles like the AIM-54 Phoenix and short-range AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles to combat threats such as enemy missiles.
- The aircraft was also equipped with an M61 Vulcan cannon.
- It featured the AN/AWG-9 radar, critical for AIM-9 missile operations, that allowed tracking of 24 targets from approximately 160 km away, with the ability to engage six targets simultaneously.
- One of its most distinctive features was its variable-sweep wings, which moved between 20 and 68 degrees, providing excellent STOL and high-speed performance.
About the Model:
- The model is a 1/48 scale plastic assembly kit that replicates the F-14 Tomcat.
