F-14B Tomcat “USS George Washington” Die-Cast Model

Intended for defense of the US Navy’s carrier fleet, the F-14 Tomcat was high endurance, adaptable, and capable fighter for air superiority above enemy waters. Featuring revolutionary “Fox 3” active-radar missiles, variable sweep wings, and advanced flight controls, the aircraft could automatically tailor its flight envelope. Flying into the books as a legendary interceptor and multi-role fighter alike, it was famously seen in the 1986 film; Top Gun. 

Designed with speed in mind, the variable sweep wings permitted high speeds and high maneuverability in one single package. Though complex and tremendously heavy, continuous improvements would lead to the subsequent F-14B and D models with higher payload capacity and targeting pods. Though transformed into the pseudo “multirole interceptor” configuration, the Tomcat would remain the primary carrier defense fighter of the United States. 

Flying from the USS George Washington carrier, this F-14B was #102 of the VF-103 squadron which operated in the turn of the 21st century. It carries a low visibility grey camouflage across most of the body, with a detailed skull and crossbones on outside of the tail that represent the “Jolly Rogers” strike fighter squad.
