Fine Molds 1/72 US Navy F-14B Tomcat TM VF-143 Pukin' Dogs

The F-14A Tomcat, in service since September 1974, was replaced in the 1990s by the F-14B, equipped with the higher-thrust F110-GE-400 engine and updated fire control and other equipment. The F-14B was distinguished by a change in the shape of the engine nozzle in terms of external diameter. The F-14B was deployed mainly to carrier air groups in the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions. The 143rd Fighter Squadron (VF-143) is characterized by the large winged panther painted on the vertical tail, and although its nickname "Pewkin Dogs" is a vulgar expression, it has now become a combat attack squadron, and VFA-143, which took over this mark, also uses it as its official unit name. ●Engine nozzle parts for the B/D models, which differ from the A model, are enclosed to precisely reproduce the differences from the A model.
