ACADEMY 12370 1/48 F-14D Tomcat "Bounty Hunters"
Model Aircraft Kit
The F-14D was the pinnacle of the Tomcat series, featuring upgraded engines, advanced avionics, and improved radar and weapons systems, including compatibility with the AIM-54 Phoenix missile. Operating well into the 2000s, it served as both a fleet defense interceptor and precision strike platform. The “Bounty Hunters” of VF-2 are one of the Navy’s most celebrated squadrons, known for their distinctive tail markings and long operational history, which included deployments aboard aircraft carriers worldwide.
Academy’s tooling provides finely recessed panel lines, accurate wing and fuselage contours, and a detailed cockpit suitable for the scale, while the landing gear and external stores are carefully rendered to support realistic display. The kit includes markings for the “Bounty Hunters,” allowing modelers to faithfully recreate this famed squadron’s aircraft.
