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. It featured new “Fox 3” active-radar missiles, variable sweep wings, and advanced flight controls which automatically tailored the jet to its flight envelope. It would fly into the books as a legendary interceptor and multi-role fighter alike, helped especially by its feature in the 1986 movie; Top Gun.
Designed with speed in mind, the variable sweep permitted both low-drag and high maneuverability in one complete package. The wings would come all the way out for low-speed handling, or sweep completely back to 68 degrees for maximum acceleration. Combined with the low-bypass Pratt & Whitney TF-30 engines, the F-14 could attain beyond Mach 1 at sea level, and reach over 2.3 times the speed of sound at high altitude. Combine this kinetic prowess with the powerful AN/AWG-9 Pulse-Doppler radar unit in the nose and AIM-54 Pheonix active-radar missiles, and you have one of the best fleet-defense interceptors to grace the skies.
Decorated with the fictional “Pumpkin Face” livery of Ace Combat, this orange and grey F-14 is one of the most unique models you will ever come across. Featuring a smiling “Jack-o-lantern” face, bats across the fuselage and tails, and “trick or treat” on the engine covers, this jet is sure to conjure your Halloween spirit. Die-Cast version has an accurate weathered paint scheme, etched panel lines, pad printed decals, optional landing gear and display stand to show the model in flight. Also features a full set of air-to-air weaponry and variable “swinging” wings like the real F-14! Measures 10.25”l with a 10.75” wingspan at 1:72 scale.
