About This Item
Brand new 1/72 scale diecast model of Grumman F-14D Tomcat Fighter Aircraft "VF-2 Bounty Hunters, NE106" (2002) United States Navy by JC Wings. The model comes in a brand new box and features a detailed exterior with true-to-scale detail, retractable wings, and includes a display stand and missile accessories. Officially licensed and made of diecast metal and plastic for durability and a heavy, realistic feel, it showcases realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels, and surface details for an authentic representation of the real aircraft. The F-14D Tomcat, an advanced multi-role fighter, served as the backbone of U.S. Navy fleet defense, with VF-2 "Bounty Hunters" being one of its most distinguished squadrons. Introduced in the 1990s, the F-14D featured upgraded avionics, radar systems, and engines, giving it enhanced speed, range, and combat capability. VF-2 and its F-14Ds played critical roles in major conflicts, including Operations Desert Storm, Southern Watch, and Iraqi Freedom, enforcing no-fly zones, executing precision strikes, and performing air superiority missions. The Tomcat's versatility and the squadron's skill earned VF-2 a storied reputation, and by the time the Tomcat retired in 2006, the "Bounty Hunters" had cemented their legacy as one of the premier U.S. Navy squadrons. This 1:72 scale model in VF-2 livery is a stunning tribute, with precise detailing, functional swing wings, and accurate markings, capturing the essence of the Tomcat’s power, elegance, and operational history. Dimensions approximately Length 10.25 inches, Wingspan 10.75 inches.
