Century Wings 1:72 F-14D Tomcat, Grim Reapers AD164, 587571

Sale price£130.00 GBP

Description

This 1:72 diecast model of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat captures one of the most iconic and versatile carrier-based fighters in U.S. Navy history. First flown on December 21, 1970, the F-14 was developed to replace the F-4 Phantom II and was designed to carry the long-range AIM-54 Phoenix missile, giving it exceptional reach in fleet defense roles. Its variable geometry wings allowed for both high-speed supersonic flight and agile maneuvering during dogfights.

 

The F-14 gained worldwide fame through the film Top Gun and later earned the nickname "Bombcat" as it transitioned into an air-to-ground strike role in the 1990s. Equipped with the LANTIRN targeting pod, it remained a powerful multi-role platform until its retirement in 2006.

 

This model comes prebuilt and includes display accessories and a stand.

 

Specifications

Length - 10.25"

Width - 10.75"

 

 

Condition

The model itself is in near mint condition however, one of the pylons has had damage to the insert piece and will not remain in place without some glue or other sticky material. The pylon which is fitted on the other side of the model has had a small repair to the side of the pylon.

 

The box is in good overall condition but has excessive wear and the cardboard has been reglued back into place in some areas.
