Academy 12590 1/72 F-14D Super Tomcat "VF-2 Bounty Hunters"
Overview
The Academy USN F-14D Super Tomcat “VF-2 Bounty Hunters” 1:72 Scale Plastic Model Kit depicts the most advanced operational version of the legendary Grumman F-14 series. The F-14D Super Tomcat introduced upgraded General Electric F110 engines, the AN/APG-71 radar system, and modernised avionics, significantly improving performance and combat capability over earlier variants.
Operated by VF-2 “Bounty Hunters”, the F-14D served during key operational periods including deployments linked to the Gulf War era and later missions over Iraq and Afghanistan. The squadron’s aircraft often carried distinctive Carrier Air Wing command markings, reflecting their operational leadership role within deployed carrier groups.
This kit captures the aircraft’s iconic variable-geometry wing system, allowing display in either fully swept or extended configurations. It also includes typical air-to-air weapon loads and drop tanks, representing its fleet defence and long-range interception role.
