F-14D Super Tomcat Last Flight Guided Missile Aircraft 1-72 Revell Germany

Product Details

1/72 Scale. For over 30 years the F,14 formed the backbone of the US Navy air defence system and is one of the most advanced carrier,borne weapons platforms. The F,14D was developed from the modernization programme of the F,14A, the capabilities of which had proved inadequate. The decision had already been taken in 1973 to equip an F,14 with different engines. The experience gained finally gave rise to the F,14D with the GE F,110,GE,400 engine, upgraded electronics, a new on,board radar system and modified aerodynamics. Production of the Grumman F,14D began in March 1990. On 10th March 2006 the aircraft from the last two Tomcat squadrons (VF,31 and VF,213) returned from their last mission to NAS Oceana. All 22 Tomcats overflew the site in a crescent formation to the applause of hundreds of spectators. The official "Tomcat Sunset" decommissioning ceremony took place on 22nd September 2006 in Oceana. VF,31 was the last active squadron.
