Tamiya TAM61114 1/48 Grumman F-14A Tomcat Plastic Model Airplane Kit, Navy

Product Information

The main element is the Hughes AN/AWG-9 X band radar; the antenna is a 36 in (91 cm)-wide planar array, and has integrated Identification friend or foe antennas. Shortages of Phoenix missiles led to attempts to integrate the Russian R-27 semi-active radar-guided missile, but these proved unsuccessful.

TARPS was primarily controlled by the Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) via an extra display for observing reconnaissance data. The model is equipped with movable wings with variable geometry, retractable landing gears and rotating wheels.It is interesting that Hasegawa have kept the old tool in production for all these years even after having introduced their newer kits in the late '80s. The F-14 ADC interceptor variant was to be armed with a GAU-7/A 25mm caseless cannon and powered by F100 turbofans.

Following the US Navy's retirement of its Tomcats in 2006, Iran sought to purchase spare parts for its aircraft.He also proposed a digital flight control system designed to prevent accidents similar to that of Kara Hultgreen's. The set also includes an elegant display stand and a plaque containing the name of the plane and the logo of the film.
