New Tool F-14D Tomcat Released: One of Tamiya’s Most Detailed Kits to Date

Tamiya has released their new tool F-14D Tomcat model kit in 1/72 scale.

As previously reported, the kit (60795) is described as one of the “most detailed modern plane kits” the company has produced, and reportedly includes variable sweeping wings, and distinct interchangeable parts that allow depiction of sealing plates and air bags with the wings in various positions. The canopy, air intake side sections, and fuselage sides are slide molded to ensure accurate shapes and surfaces. Horizontal stabilizers move thanks to poly caps. Modelers can choose between an open or closed fuel probe (on the right of the nose) and a boarding ladder and step (on the left side of the fuselage). The kit includes parts for recreating laser-guided bombs, the LANTIRN pod, and air-to-air missiles. It also comes with two seated crew figures and five U.S. Navy marking options.
