Originally designed for carrier air defense, in the 1990s it was also tabbed for ground attack work on account of its superior payload capacity and range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of that decade Tomcats became capable of long-range surgical strikes with LANTIRN pod and laser-guided bombs. The F-14D inherited its F110-GE-400 engines from the F-14B, and was given a new digital radar system whose faster processing times and enhanced capability turned the Tomcat into a true multi-role fighter also capable of ground attack and reconnaissance missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe F-14D was delivered to units from 1992 and was active in Afghanistan and Iraq; it was a vital cog in the Navy machine until it was retired in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1\/72 scale plastic model assembly kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuselage length: 265mm, wingspan: 272mm (with wings swept forward).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe flowing Tomcat form is recreated with aplomb, featuring a moving depiction of the variable sweep wing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir bags and sealing plates are separate parts, with different components included for different wing positions, which can be interchanged after completion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide molded canopy and air intake sides give an authentic rendering of the complex shapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoly caps enable horizontal stabilizer motion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model’s fuel probe and boarding ladder can be assembled stowed or deployed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParts are included to recreate ordnance such as laser guided bombs, LANTIRN pod and air-to-air missiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with 2 seated figures and 5 U.S. Navy marking options.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50931811451186,"sku":"799-60795","price":72.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2467\/9979\/files\/GrummanF-14DTomcat1_72-25.jpg?v=1772044758","url":"https:\/\/pandahobby.ca\/products\/grumman-f-14d-tomcat-1-72","provider":"Panda Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
