Huge 1/32 F-14 Tomcat Cutaway Model

Posted by admin On February - 11 - 2009

Famemaster has a big 1/32 F-14 Tomcat. Not only is it an F-14, it’s a cutaway version revealing the internal construction. The official name is: 4D Vision Vehicles Cutaway 4D Puzzle Toy- f-14A Jolly Rogers Cutaway Model. First off, the the f-14 is from the famed VF-84 Jolly Rogers squadron which sports the skull and crossbones mascot. The model comes pre-painted with 167 pieces… it sounds like you have to put it together.???

The cutaway parts of the model are really cool. Cutaway sections include the gun section that you can pull off to reveal the big Vulcan machine gun, wing cross sections, the sweeping wing section with the mechanism that sweeps the wings forward and back, and the engine section. It has a clear engine to reveal all the fan blades inside .

Action details for the model include wings that sweep forward and back, retractable landing gear, hinged landing gear bay doors, opening canopy, retractable landing hook, and a speed brake that raises and lowers. This model also includes some unique features not found on other pre-painted/pre-assembled models. One thing that makes this thing unique is the nose cone that raises up to reveal the radar. Other unique things are the extending ladder for the crew, opening and closing footholds, and removable ejection seats. A pilot and copilot are included. Air to air missiles are also included.

This is a great model. It’s big at 1/32 scale. It has an accurate paint job with the famous skull and crossbones. Revealing construction and unique features make this one to pick up for any aviation fan. I have been waiting for a big F-14 to come out…hopefully by BBI or Forces of Valor… no luck yet. Recommendations for future releases include different squadrons, maybe dirty it up a bit and paint those clean panel lines. They can also include afterburners that are opened up ,too. It would also be nice to see newer Bombcat versions with air to ground bombs like JDAMs and GBUs.

The 4D Vision Vehicles Cutaway 4D Puzzle Toy- f-14A Jolly Rogers Cutaway Model is priced at around $184. It’s currently backorder ordered at HLJ.
