1/48 Great Wall Hobby Jet Aircraft

Complete F-14 Tomcat Family in 1/48 Scale

Great Wall Hobby provides the definitive 1/48 scale kits of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, offering all three major variants of the US Navy's legendary fleet defense fighter. The US Navy F-14A Tomcat represents the initial production variant that entered service in the 1970s, featuring the TF30 engines and original avionics fit that made the Tomcat an icon of naval aviation. The US Navy F-14B Tomcat documents the re-engined variant with more powerful F110 engines that solved the thrust deficiencies of the A-model and improved performance across the flight envelope. The US Navy F-14D Tomcat represents the ultimate development with upgraded engines, digital avionics, improved radar, and enhanced weapons systems that made it the most capable Tomcat variant. These kits capture the distinctive variable-geometry wings, twin-tail configuration, and massive size of the Tomcat with precision molding, detailed cockpits for both crew positions, comprehensive weapons including Phoenix, Sparrow, and Sidewinder missiles, and extensive decal sheets covering multiple squadrons and time periods. The F-14 family integrates perfectly with Tamiya, Hasegawa, and Academy US Navy aircraft collections.

A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog Variants

Great Wall Hobby offers comprehensive coverage of the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, the US Air Force's dedicated close air support aircraft. The US Air Force A-10A Thunderbolt II (L4825) represents the original production variant that entered service in the late 1970s, featuring the massive GAU-8 Avenger 30mm cannon, heavy armor protection, and exceptional weapons-carrying capability. The US Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt II (L4829) documents the modernized variant with upgraded avionics, precision weapons capability, and improved targeting systems that extended the Warthog's service life into the 21st century. The A-10C Blacksnake Indiana Air National Guard 1921-2021 provides special commemorative markings celebrating the unit's centennial. These kits capture the distinctive twin-engine, twin-tail design with straight wings optimized for low-speed operations, detailed cockpit with titanium bathtub armor protection, comprehensive weapons loads including Maverick missiles and various bombs, and authentic markings for multiple units and operations. These close air support aircraft complement Trumpeter, Hobby Boss, and Italeri modern military aircraft.
