• Includes free decals and masking foil
• Packed with color photos

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft, the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat against MiGs during the Vietnam War.

The F-14 first flew in December 1970. It first deployed in 1974 with the U.S. Navy aboard USS Enterprise replacing the F-4 Phantom II. The F-14 served as the U.S. Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor and tactical reconnaissance platform. In the 1990s it added the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night pod system and began performing precision strike missions. The F-14 was retired from the active U.S. Navy fleet on 22 September 2006.

This monograph covers the jet fighter aircraft. Many color detail photos make this an ideal publication for the modeler.
