1/72 Scale Grumman F-14A Tomcat Diecast Model
This 1/72 scale diecast replica represents the Grumman F-14A Tomcat flown by VFA-124 Gunfighters in 1978. It features diecast metal and plastic construction with realistic panel lines, antennas and surface details. The model includes a pilot figure, opening canopy, detachable ordnance loads and removable landing gear. A display stand is supplied for shelf or cabinet presentation.
Collectors Seeking Authentic Naval Aviation Replicas
The model suits enthusiasts who value accurate scale detail and officially licensed military aircraft reproductions. Its true-to-scale dimensions and detailed exterior appeal to hobbyists building a carrier-air-wing collection. Buyers who want larger scales, snap-together kits or modern multi-role fighter subjects should look at something else.
Sturdy Display Piece for Long-Term Shelf Life
Diecast metal gives the airframe a substantial feel that resists flexing during handling and cleaning. Fixed panel lines and moulded antennas remain crisp without the peeling risk of applied decals. The detachable gear and stores can be swapped for different display configurations without stressing fragile attachment points.

Questions about this item
Does this 1/72 scale Tomcat require any assembly or extra parts before I can display it?
The model arrives fully assembled in the box with the pilot figure, display stand, detachable ordnance and landing gear already included.
Will the 10.75-inch wingspan of this 1/72 F-14A dominate a shelf that already holds 1/72 World War II fighters?
At 10.75 inches the Tomcat is noticeably larger than most 1/72 prop-driven aircraft, so plan extra shelf width if you display them side by side.
How can I confirm the variable-sweep wings are correctly positioned after I unpack the model?
The swing wings should lock cleanly into the forward and aft detents; the panel lines, antennas and access panels will then match the reference photos of the 1978 VFA-124 Gunfighters jet.
