Platz TPA-16 1/48 US Navy F-14A Tomcat VF-111 Sundowners

The F-14A Tomcat has been deployed and operated as the main force of the United States Navy since 1973. The twin-engine F-14A Tomcat adopts an automatically controlled variable swept and demonstrates high STOL performance, excellent high speed, and great maneuverability. In addition, it is equipped with AN/AWG-9 fire control radar that can track 24 targets simultaneously and attack six of them simultaneously, and AIM-54 Phoenix long-range air-to-air missile boasting an effective range of about 160 km.

The United States Navy Fighter Squadron 111(VF-111) Sundowners were also equipped with F-14A, and flew to Atsugi Air Base in Japan with the marking that made the image of the Japanese national sun flag. After that, the F-14 kept improving repeatedly and continued to play an active role in the US Navy's fleet defense mission for 30 years.
