Condition

This 1:72 diecast model of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat captures one of the most iconic and versatile carrier-based fighters in U.S. Navy history. First flown on December 21, 1970, the F-14 was developed to replace the F-4 Phantom II and was designed to carry the long-range AIM-54 Phoenix missile, giving it exceptional reach in fleet defense roles. Its variable geometry wings allowed for both high-speed supersonic flight and agile maneuvering during dogfights.

 

The F-14 gained worldwide fame through the film Top Gun and later earned the nickname "Bombcat" as it transitioned into an air-to-ground strike role in the 1990s. Equipped with the LANTIRN targeting pod, it remained a powerful multi-role platform until its retirement in 2006.

 

This model comes prebuilt and includes display accessories and a stand.

 

Specifications

Length - 10.25"

Width - 10.75"

 

 

Condition

The model itself is in near mint condition however, one of the pylons has had damage to the insert piece and will not remain in place without some glue or other sticky material. The pylon which is fitted on the other side of the model has had a small repair to the side of the pylon.

 

The box is in good overall condition but has excessive wear and the cardboard has been reglued back into place in some areas.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.


Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.


Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.


Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.


Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.


Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.


Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.


Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.


If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
