Carrier Aviation Classic
VF-32 “Swordsmen” flew the F-14 Tomcat for more than three decades, earning a reputation for precision, readiness, and combat excellence. Their final Tomcat “Gypsy Roll” took place in 2005, marking the end of the squadron’s F-14 era before transitioning to the F/A-18F Super Hornet.
The Grumman F-14B Tomcat, powered by upgraded engines and advanced avionics, was a carrier-based air superiority fighter renowned for its variable-sweep wings, long-range radar capability, and unmatched missile engagement envelope.
This Hobby Master model replicates AC101 with authentic VF-32 markings and fine detailing across panel lines, cockpit instrumentation, landing gear bays, and weapon stations, making it a standout addition to any naval aviation collection.
Collectors will appreciate the diecast construction, accurate proportions, and museum-quality finish representing one of the most recognizable fighter aircraft ever to sail with the U.S. Navy.
