Assemble a 1/48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat with Tamiya 61114

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an iconic carrier-based fighter developed under the US Navy VFX programme. This twin-engine, supersonic aircraft was central to fleet defence missions and is easily recognised by its variable-geometry wing arrangement. The F-14A served in multiple roles and remains a popular subject for scale modelling.

Key features and modelling details

Tamiya's 1/48 kit renders authentic surface detail and functional elements of the Tomcat. The completed fuselage length is 398mm, while the wing span is shown from 212mm to 408mm to reflect different sweep positions. Movable swing wings are included and can be set between roughly 20 and 75 degrees. The model can be displayed with landing gear down for a static ground presentation.

Detailing, markings and display options

Alternate parts are supplied to represent various airbag and sealing plate shapes. The clear canopy is modelled to allow an open presentation, and a ladder plus step components can be installed either stowed or extended. Three decal schemes are provided: two for U.S. Navy squadrons and one option for the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.

Yes, with the landing gear fitted the model sits securely and works well on a standard aircraft display base or diorama surface.
The decals are produced to match the three included marking options. For the best finish apply a gloss coat before decaling and a clear coat after setting.
The cockpit includes adequate detail for 1/48 scale viewing. Painting fine instruments and adding seat harnesses will enhance realism for close inspection.
This kit is not supplied with motorisation hardware. Experienced modellers may convert the swing mechanism using custom parts, but this requires careful planning and modification.
