It’s Tomcat time. There is no other jet on the planet that has a larger or more devoted following than the F-14, and it’s one of our favorites to share with you.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a preorder. All JETs will ship the week of Feb. 9th.
Our last F-14 release coincided with the release of Top Gun: Maverick, and the run cut from BuNo 161869 “Splinter” quickly sold out.
We are stoked to bring you an all-new F-14 with JETs cut from BuNo 160900, and we’ve brought back the stabilizer shape!
The F-14:
Equipped with long-range AIM-54 Phoenix air-to-air missiles and a cutting-edge Radar Homing and Warning (RHAW) system, the Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a twin-engine, variable-sweep wing, carrier-capable supersonic fighter developed for the U.S. Navy’s Naval Fighter Experimental program.
With a top speed of 1,544 mph, the Tomcat could engage multiple threats from over 90 miles away, serving as the Navy’s premier maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and tactical reconnaissance platform.
Engineered to counter agile enemy aircraft, anti-ship cruise missiles, and strategic bombers, the Tomcat was a dominant force in the skies, remaining a cornerstone of U.S. Naval Aviation well into the mid-2000s.
The JETs
Vol. 25-03 was cut from BuNo 160900. This jet served with the VF-142 Ghostsriders and the VF-32 Fighting Swordsmen and is offered in VF-142 Grey, VF-32 Grey, VF-142 Vertical Stabilizer, and VF-32 Vertical Stabilizer. These JETs come on cards that feature the F-14 as it was painted with the squadrons it served. The Vertical Stabilizer JETs feature full color printed art that matches what was on the jet while it served with VF-142 or VF-32. The VF-142 Grey JETs come with wing swept art and the VF-32 JETs come with wings spread art. Like our original Tomcat release, only 140 of these are available, 100 of which are Stabilizers (50 of each squadron).
We are also releasing JETs Vol. 25-02 alongside 25-03: another Tomcat JET (cut from 161869). For more info on 25-02, please visit its listing on the homepage. The following combos/sets can be purchased that include JETs from 25-02 (BuNo 161869) and 25-03 (BuNo 160900). NOTE: These sets and combos are only listed on the 25-02 product page.
STAB Set: One each of the Vertical Stabilizers JETs
Squadron Set: Dark Blue 161869 + Grey VF-142 + Grey VF-32 JETs
Only 140 JETs were cut from these panels and many variants will sell out quickly.
