Model Set Grumman F-14A Tomcat

The swing-wing mechanism locks into place perfectly, and the landing gear detail is surprisingly good for a kit this size. Spent a solid evening on the cockpit alone.

The panel lines are crisp and the decals go on smoothly, really capturing the look of the real carrier-based fighter. I had a great time assembling this kit over the weekend.

The swing-wing mechanism actually works on this kit, which is the whole reason I picked it up, and the fit of the fuselage halves was surprisingly clean for a model in this price range. I’ve built a few naval jets before, but the panel lines on this one really capture the Tomcat’s aggressive profile
