Tamiya F-14A Tomcat Late Launch Set

Tamiya 1/48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat Late Model Carrier Launch Set # 61122 Features fixed depiction of variable sweep wing supported by a single-piece part. The kit depicts wings with deployed flaps and slats which can be attached to wing by support parts (NOTE: This model CANNOT depict wing at neutral position). The catapult shuttle and one-piece holdback bar with its nose landing gear realistically depict the F-14A taking off from the carrier deck. New nose landing gear part with retracted "kneeling'' shock absorber recreates the F-14A's takeoff stance. Features detailed sections such as telephoto camera pod, AAX-1 TCS, ALR-45 radar warning antenna under wing, and four Mk. 82 low-drag general-purpose bombs (LDGP, 500 pound) for realistic look. A realistically recreated cockpit depicts late model ejector seat cushions, instrument panel and side console panels. Includes the catapult officer (called "Shooter" who gives the OK for the operator to release the shuttle) figure and paper flight deck sheet. Comes with four marking options: two for F-14As from the VF-32 "Swordsmen" and one VF-211 "Fighting Checkmates", plus one VF-154 "Black Knights".
