The F-14 Tomcat has left an indelible mark on the hearts of Japanese aviation enthusiasts. The unforgettable silhouette of its swing wings appearing over Atsugi every angle vivid, every memory still clear in the mind's eye. There was a time when we all wanted to build these Tomcats with our own hands. Driven by this passion, countless model builders once flocked to the shelves of hobby shops. Decades have passed since then. Technology has advanced, and model kits have reached a whole new level they are more precise, more sophisticated and more fun to build. The Tomcat, once just an object of admiration, can now land on your desk in its ultimate form. Touching the model brings the atmosphere of that era back to life. In this special feature, the creators look back at the enduring fascination of the F-14, highlighted by Tamiya's latest 1:72 scale release and a comprehensive look at the Tomcat in scale.
