The Grumman F-14 Tomcat <\/strong>is one of the most popular subjects aircraft modelers build. During the last decade, we have seen a stunning number of new kits by numerous manufacturers. All of them tried to beat each other to deliver the best Tomcat kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The F-14 is possibly the best-known US jet aircraft ever made. Partly because of its role in Holywood’s blockbuster called Top Gun. And partly because of its stunning design. It’s often claimed the Tomcats, together with the Soviet SU-27 Flankers, are the most beautiful aircraft ever produced. Though I have to admit, I prefer the raw mean look of the F-14 predecessor – the F-4 Phantom II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat fighter developed specifically for US NAVY needs. Just like the F-111, the Tomcat was designed with variable-sweep wings. During its career in the NAVY, it was used as an interceptor, air superiority, and multirole fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
