AMK 1/48 Grumman F-14D Super Tomcat

AMK 1/48 Grumman F-14D Super Tomcat

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-swept wing fighter aircraft. It was the first U.S. jet fighter with a twin tail. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program after the collapse of the F-111B project.

The F-14 was the first of the American "Teen Series" of fighters, which were designed by incorporating air combat experience against MiG fighters gained during the Vietnam War. The last flight of an F-14 in U.S. service took place October 4, 2006, when an F-14D of VF-31 was ferried from NAS Oceana to Republic Airport on Long Island, New York.
