The F-14A Tomcat is one of the most iconic carrier-based fighters ever built — and Tamiya's 1/48 rendition is the definitive scale version. Developed with direct access to real F-14A airframes, this kit delivers the kind of accuracy and detail that serious aviation modelers expect from Tamiya. At 398mm long with a maximum wingspan of 408mm, it commands serious shelf presence.
