ACADEMY 12590 1/72 F-14D Super Tomcat 'Bounty Hunters'

Model Kit

The Academy 12590 F-14D Super Tomcat "VF-2 Bounty Hunters" is a 1/72 scale plastic model kit of the ultimate evolution of the legendary U.S. Navy's swing-wing fighter. This kit meticulously replicates the F-14D, the most advanced variant, featuring more powerful GE F110 engines, an upgraded AN/APG-71 radar, and enhanced digital avionics compared to its predecessors. It showcases the distinctive variable-sweep wings, which can be built in either the entirely swept or unswept positions for dynamic display. The kit includes finely engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit, and a comprehensive loadout of air-to-air missiles, including the iconic AIM-54 Phoenix, alongside Sidewinders and Sparrows. With decals for the storied VF-2 "Bounty Hunters" squadron, known for their unique skull-and-crossbones tail flash, this model uniquely represents one of naval aviation's most iconic combat aircraft.
