Features
1/72 USN F-14D VF-2 Bounty Hunters
This kit offers a highly accurate representation of the F-14D Tomcat, the most advanced variant of the iconic U.S. Navy swing-wing fighter. Featuring precisely reproduced cockpit and landing gear, detailed surface engraving, and a choice of two VF-2 squadron markings, this kit captures the power and presence of the "Bounty Hunters" aircraft in its operational form.
- 1/72 scale plastic model kit
- Detailed engraved panel lines and rivets
- Two decal marking choices
- Assembly required
- Paint and glue not included
Highly Detailed Naval Air Superiority Fighter
This kit faithfully captures the distinctive features of this advanced fighter. With precisely molded parts and options for wing positioning, landing gear, and full weapon loadouts, the model reflects the real aircraft's versatility and combat readiness in stunning detail.
Delicate Panel Line Expression
Every surface of the aircraft is intricately molded with recessed panel lines and rivet details that add to the model's realism. These subtle engravings closely follow the contours of the actual F-14D, emphasizing its mechanical complexity and robust airframe. From the nose cone to the engine nacelles, the detailed panel work enhances the visual fidelity and scale authenticity of the finished build.
2 Decal Options Included
Choice of 2 markings:
(1) F-14D CVW-14 BuNo 163894, CAG bird of VF-2 "Bounty Hunters, Last Tomcat Cruise", USS Constellation May 2003;
(2) F-14D CVW-14 BuNo 164348, CAG bird of VF-31 "Tomcatters", USS Abraham Lincoln April 1997.
Background Information
Advanced variant of the iconic Grumman F-14 series. The F-14D incorporated numerous upgrades over its predecessors, including more powerful GE F110 engines, an upgraded radar (AN/APG-71), and advanced avionics.
US Navy Fighter Squadron VF-2 operated the F-14D during critical periods, including deployments supporting the Gulf War and later in operations over Iraq and Afghanistan. The squadron was nicknamed the "Bounty Hunters" with distinctive markings adorning the aircraft.
