About product

Grumman F-14A Tomcat Model Set 1:144 (Revell)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Grumman F-14A Tomcat carrier fighter in 1:144 scale from the German manufacturer Revell. The Model Set version adds the basic paints, a brush and glue to the model. The small scale means fewer parts and a quicker build than the same machine in 1:72 or 1:48.

The real subject

The F-14 Tomcat was a twin-engine, two-seat carrier fighter with a variable-geometry wing that swept back in flight. It was created for the long-range defense of the American carriers, and together with a powerful radar and long-range air-to-air missiles it was to cover the ships far beyond their own horizon. The A version was the first production version and carried the original engines, which were among its weakest points. In service with the US Navy the type lasted until 2006.

Building and painting tips

In 1:144 the parts are small, so cut them off with a fine saw and apply the glue drop by drop with a fine brush. The wing is usually cemented in one chosen position, so decide in advance whether you want the model spread or swept. Even out the gray finish with a base color, bring out the panel lines with a fine wash and place the decals with tweezers into an intermediate gloss clear coat. Leave the matte coat to the end.

Who the model is for

  • Anyone interested in US Navy carrier hardware
  • Modelers who collect aircraft in 1:144
  • Beginners looking for a box with everything needed

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. According to the manufacturer, the Model Set contains the basic paints, a brush and glue; other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not stated here. How the wing is fitted in this scale is described in the instructions in the box; in small scales it is usually cemented in one chosen position.

An injection-molded plastic kit, decals and instructions, and further the basic paints, a brush and glue, which the manufacturer adds to the Model Set version.

Yes, there are fewer parts than in larger scales. Only the handling of the small parts and the decals is more demanding, so tweezers and good light pay off.

The A version was the first production one and carried the original engines, which had less thrust and were more sensitive to handling of the throttle. Later versions received engines of a new generation.
