Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat Carrier Launch Set Details

The Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat Carrier Launch Set presents an accurate scale representation of the Tomcat suited for display or diorama work. Tamiya's precise moulding ensures parts fit well and preserves the aircraft's distinctive profile.

Modelling Advice and Paint Guidance

Yes, the Tamiya 61122 provides a solid base that accepts common resin and photoetched upgrades if you want finer cockpit or external detail.
The decal sheet includes options for several markings so you can model different squadrons or periods of service.
Yes, assembly allows for gear-up presentation; small trims and careful joins will help maintain a clean undercarriage appearance.
