Enhance scale fidelity on your F-14A Tomcat

The Tamiya 12693 Detail Up Parts Set supplies high-quality photo-etched pieces for a 1/48 F-14A Tomcat, helping modellers achieve crisper cockpit fittings, landing gear detail and external fixtures that improve close-up realism.

The F-14A in modelling and history

Favoured by enthusiasts for its naval pedigree and unique layout, the F-14A rewards detailed treatment. Adding etched components is an effective way to bring out the aircraft's complex shapes in 1/48 scale.

Why Choose Tamiya's Detail Up Parts?

Tamiya's etched sets are engineered to match kit geometry and scale. This set complements the 61122 F-14A kit with parts that refine visible assemblies and elevate the overall presentation of the completed model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Photo-etched metal
  • Compatibility: Designed for Tamiya 61122 F-14A Tomcat kit
  • Assembly: Requires cutting and fitting

How difficult is it to work with these photo-etched parts?

They require patience and some basic experience with small metal components. If you are comfortable with fine assembly steps, the set is manageable and yields noticeable improvement.

Do I need to modify the kit to fit them?

The parts are designed for the 61122 kit but minor trimming or adjustment may be necessary to ensure a precise fit during installation.

Any tips for painting photo-etched pieces?

Light primer suited for metal, followed by delicate top coats, works well. Mask attachment points and handle pieces with tweezers to avoid fingerprints and damage to the finish.

Where are these parts most effective on the model?

Cockpit instrument panels, landing gear bays and small external fittings benefit the most, as photo-etched parts can reproduce thin edges and fine detail that plastic often cannot.
