Cobi Top Gun F-14A Tomcat

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American supersonic jet. Its distinguishing feature is the variable geometry of its wings. The fighter was developed and produced by the Grumman Corporation. The intention was to defend the fleet through air superiority. It was also used for tactical reconnaissance. Later modifications allowed for the transport of bombs for ground attacks. The F-14 was deployed by the United States Navy in 1972, with the United States being the primary user. In 1976, 79 aircraft were exported to Iran, some of which are still in service today. The aircraft was officially retired from the US Navy on September 22, 2006. The F-14 Tomcat fighter became famous not only for its stunning appearance and variable wing geometry but also for its role in the iconic 1986 film Top Gun. The main character of the film, Maverick (Tom Cruise), is a Tomcat F-14A combat pilot.

The F-14 Tomcat is a unique aircraft model released under the original license of Top Gun and Northrop Grumman. The legendary US Navy film pilot Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and his partner "Goose" fly a two-seater. If you want to revisit this cult film production, you can now build your own F-14 in 1:48 scale. The model has been faithfully reproduced with 754 COBI building blocks. The set includes high-quality prints that accurately reflect the original design of the film aircraft. The model features swiveling wings with variable geometry, retractable landing gear, and rotating wheels. Beneath the wings is a large arsenal of weapons. The cockpit contains two figures of the film pilots, which are included in the set. Their seats are marked (Maverick and Goose). The figures reflect the appearance of the film's heroes and are equipped with characteristic helmets.
