Tamiya 61114 - 1/48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat  [61114]

This type of model kit illustrates the F-14A Tomcat variant. The F-14A ended up being the initial two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather interceptor fighter variant the U.S. Navy. It first flew on December 21, 1970. As a U.S. Navy fighter it fulfilled the dual roles of long range interceptor and atmosphere superiority fighter, and later bomber. Deployed from 1974 to 2006, it successfully employed a "swing wing", which offered variable sweep. The F-14A, which covers the majority of the early variations, ended up being probably the most prolifically-produced variant of the Tomcat. 79 had been exported to Iran before U.S.-Iranian relations began to deteriorate, and later took part inside Iran-Iraq War.
