Tamiya is working to release a new tool F-14D Tomcat model kit in 1/72 scale. The kit (60795) is described as one of the “most detailed modern plane kits” the company has produced, and reportedly includes:
• 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit. Wingspan: 272mm, fuselage length: 265mm.
• Variable sweeping wings are depicted!
• Distinct parts – interchangeable after completion – depict sealing plates and air bags with the wing in various positions.
• Canopy, air intake side sections and fuselage sides are slide molded to ensure their shapes and surfaces are accurately depicted.
• Horizontal stabilizers move thanks to poly caps.
• The modeler has a choice of open and closed fuel probe (on the right of the nose) and boarding ladder and step (on fuselage left).
• Parts are included for recreating laser-guided bombs, LANTIRN pod and air-to-air missiles.
• The model comes with 2 seated crew figures and 5 U.S. Navy marking options.
The new offering is said to shrink the incredible detail of the company’s previously released 1/48 kit (61118) into a “compact, streamlined build.” As of this writing, a release date has not yet been announced. Click below to check out additional renderings.
