This kit is the perfect addition to any aircraft model collection and is sure to impress with its stunning attention to detail and historical significance. The F-14 Tomcat has a rich history, following in the footsteps of the F4F Wildcat and the F6F Hellcat, which fought in the skies years before the Tomcat ever took flight. Developed by Grumman and dubbed "Tom's Cat" by Admiral Tom Conolly, the aircraft was eventually officially named the "Tomcat" and dedicated to fleet defense for the US Navy. With a total of 100+ plastic parts spread over 7 sprues, upper fuselage and lower fuselage, this kit is designed to be easy to assemble while still maintaining its exceptional accuracy and realism. The model dimensions are also impressive, with a length of 264.82 mm and a wingspan of 155.5/271.35mm. The F-14 Tomcat was undoubtedly one of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced aircraft ever to serve an aircraft carrier. Its most innovative and characteristic feature was the wings with variable geometry, which allowed for optimal positioning when maneuvering tightly and exhibited amazing maneuverability. The heart of the Tomcat's weapon system is the Hughes ANG-9 radar, which can track and attack multiple targets. The AIM-54A Phoenix air-to-air missiles with a range of up to 180 km, the M-61 Vulcan hull-mounted cannon firing up to 6,000 rounds per minute, and the ability to attach other types of weapons such as Sparrow, Sidewinder rockets or various bombs, make this powerful aircraft a force to be reckoned with. With a maximum speed of 2480 km / h, climb speed of 153 m / s, practical ceiling of 17100 m, and maximum range of 3200 km, the F-14 also owes a lot of its success to the excellent power unit in the form of a pair of Pratt-Whitney TF30 engines with a thrust of 9300 daN with afterburning. This kit is a must-have for any aviation enthusiast and is perfect for those looking for a thrilling and challenging building experience. So take to the skies with the Hobby Boss 80279 1/72 Scale Grumman F-14A Tomcat (VF-1 Wolf Pack) Easy Assembly Plastic Model Kit and experience the thrill of one of the most iconic aircraft in history!
