Description The Grumman F-14 Tomcat was a supersonic swing-wing fighter which entered service with the US Navy in 1974, and the Iranian Air Force in 1977.

There were three major versions of the Tomcat: F-14A, F-14B, and F-14D with improved engines and additional capabilities on each version. The Tomcat saw combat with the USN and IRIAF and was successful in every case.

The F-14 was armed with 1 x 20mm Vulcan cannon and up to 8 missiles (F-14D) including AIM-7 Sparrow, AIM-9 Sidewinder, and AIM-54 Phoenix.

This example is an F-14A of VF-24 US Navy circa 1980.

Thanks!

There will be all sorts depending on what reference pictures I find - at the moment they are mostly early ones with the pearly grey and/or white, but VF-33 will be the more 'flat' grey...

So the 50 missiles it gave my on Ace Combat weren't accurate? lol.
This looks great

Any chance you could do a Su-47 Berkut? It's my favorite xD
