Hasegawa 1/48 F-14A Tomcat - Scale Model of a Naval Icon

The F-14A Tomcat is a defining carrier fighter from the 1970s, recognised for its variable-geometry wings and twin-engine stance. Hasegawa's 1/48 kit reproduces the aircrafts main features for an accurate static model build.

Scale fidelity and modeller appeal

With precise panel engraving, a detailed cockpit tub and choices for external stores, this kit provides a realistic modelling experience. The swing wings and twin tail surfaces are represented to preserve the Tomcats characteristic profile.

Historical Significance

The Tomcat served extensively with the U.S. Navy across the Cold War and into later operations, becoming synonymous with naval air defence. This model offers a hands-on link to that operational history and makes a strong display piece.

Yes, the kit supplies cockpit components and basic instrument representation. Painting and decal application improve the finished appearance.
The airframe is modelled to show the wings in a chosen static position. Builders should dry-fit parts to set the pose before gluing.
Apply thin washes into panel lines and use light dry-brushing on raised areas. Subtle chipping and exhaust staining can add operational realism without overdoing it.
