Introduction to the Tamiya 61118 Grumman F-14D Tomcat

The Grumman F-14D Tomcat is an iconic carrier-based fighter, and this Tamiya 1/48 release brings fidelity to that legacy. The kit emphasises accurate external geometry and parts fit for a convincing scale replica.

Detailed Components and Loadout

This moulding includes recognisable F110-GE-400 engine nozzle detail, vertical stabiliser stiffener plates and the characteristic dual chin pods. Loadout options cover laser-guided bombs, standard bombs, LANTIRN and TARPS pods to reflect the aircraft's operational role.

Construction and Presentation

The set includes two updated pilot figures and new ejection seats for enhanced cockpit realism, plus four marking choices for variety. The assembly process rewards careful builders with a model suitable for display or diorama scenes.
