HobbyBoss 80278 F-14D Super Tomcat 1:72

The F-14 Tomcat followed a history of "Cats" in the military. The F4F Wildcat and the F6F Hellcat that fought in the skies years before the Tomcat ever bit the air. In the late 1960's, the US Navy dropped its TFX program, and decided to focus on an aircraft dedicated to fleet defense. Grumman had already begun developing the F-14, and was definitely headed for a "Cat" designation. The person responsible for this project was Admiral Tom Conolly, Deputy Chief, Naval Operations for Air. The aircraft was dubbed "Tom's Cat" long before the official name of "Tomcat" was ever adopted Item No 80278 Item Name F-14D Super Tomcat Bar Code 6939319202789 Scale 1:72 Item Type Static kit Model Dimension Length:264.82 mm Wingspan: 155.5/271.35mm Total Plastic Parts 100+ Total Sprues 7 sprues,upper fuselage and lower fuselage Chromeplate Parts na Camouflage Scheme US Navy Resin Parts na Metal Parts na Photo Etched Parts na Film Accessory na Released Date 2012-08 More Features The kit consists of over
