| F - 14A Tomcat, VF -1, "Wolf Pack", (NAVY).Product DescriptionThe F-14 "Tomcat", built by Grumman Aerospace, is a Carrier-based supersonic, variable
sweep wing, two-place strike fighter designed to attack and destroy enemy
aircraft at night and in all weather conditions. Designed to replace the F-4 Phantom II
fighter (phased out in 1986), the F-14A was
introduced in the mid-1970's. A total of 556 F-14A's were bought for the US Navy, while 80 roughly
similar machines were purchased by the Iranian government before the downfall of the Shah. The improved F-14B and
F-14D have been built and deployed by the Navy in modest numbers.

of select kiln dried Philippine mahogany wood. The airplane model is made entirely by hand:
From the handcarving of the aircraft fuselage, wings and tail section, to the sanding of the aircraft's
contours. Every part is assembled precisely into place. After shaping and sanding, the airplane
model passes through several stages of priming and sanding before it is hand painted to
duplicate the actual colors, emblems and insignias of the original historical aircraft. Finally,
multiple coats of clear lacquer are applied to protect the artwork and provide an overall
glossy finish. Aircraft Index: By Type & Manufacturer. |
