ACY1679   Academy Plastics   1/72 F-14A Tomcat U.S.N.

TECH NOTES
  This is a 1/72 Plastic F-14A Tomcat US Navy Swing Wing Fighter from Academy
                      Plastics.  It's for ages 10 and up.

     The failure of the F-111B to meet the requirements set forth by the Navy
for their new basic fighter resulted in heated competition for a suitable
carrier based plane.  Variable-sweep wings were not a part of the new
specifications, but Grumman proposed this still-new feature on their entry
because of their experience with them.  The capable production version could
cut its width in half thanks to the inclusion of the variable-sweep wings.

FEATURES: Plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in gray.
          The surface of the plane is decorated with fully engraved panel
            lines and rivet detail.
          Highly detailed cockpit interior includes a seat, controls, and
            gauges.
          Adjustable sweep wings are functional and give this model the realism
            that intrigues modelers young and old alike.
          Intricate landing gear system is complete with every detail.
          The Tomcat is no slouch when it comes to equipment.  You'll find that
            the model is complete with bombs, missles, and an extra fuel cell.
          Modelers have the choice of one of two different jet exhaust cones.
          Clear plastic canopy allows close inspection of cockpit.
          Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly.
