Unbeatable museum quality best describes our handcrafted model airplanes just like the F-14D Tomcat. After passing through the hands of master craftsmen, the parts are sanded and primed many times. Talented artists then paint on the intricate details with great accuracy. A final coat of clear lacquer protects the aircraft and gives it a glossy finish. Our F-14D Tomcat airplane model exhibits an unmatched quality and intricate design to obtain the exact look of the actual F-14D Tomcat.
F-14D Tomcat History:
The F-14D variant of the Tomcat is the most advanced F-14 deployed to date. The F-14D Tomcat was introduced in 1990. The F-14D designation had originally been assigned to a cost-reduced, stripped version of the Tomcat, proposed at a time when the rapidly-increasing cost of the F-14A was causing great concern. This project never achieved fruition. The F-14D that is known today originated back in 1984 as an advanced Tomcat derivative that was to be developed in parallel with the F-14A (Plus). Both variants were to be powered by the 27,600 lb.s.t. General Electric F110-GE-400 turbofan, which was designed to remedy some of the defects of the TF30, particularly the problems with compressor stall, but the F-14D was to possess a much more advanced avionics suite.
The F-14D remain in service until 2008 when all the Tomcat when all the Tomcat aircraft should have been replaced by the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.
