About the Grumman F-14B Tomcat

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is one of the most iconic carrier-based fighters in aviation history, serving the U.S. Navy from 1974 to 2006. The F-14B variant, introduced in 1987, featured upgraded General Electric F110 engines that addressed the power limitations of the original A-model, providing improved performance and reliability. With its distinctive variable-sweep wings, powerful AN/AWG-9 radar, and long-range AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, the F-14B excelled in fleet defense and air superiority roles. The Tomcat's sleek lines and legendary status, cemented by popular culture, make it a favorite subject for modern naval aviation enthusiasts and jet age modelers.

What's Included

Eduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.
