Soar into naval aviation history with this stunning 1/72 replica of the legendary VF-2 "Bounty Hunters" F-14A Tomcat! Capturing the squadron's iconic 1988 retro livery, this kit lets you build a piece of Cold War heritage - from its Vietnam War legacy to the colorful markings that returned as tensions eased. Every rivet tells a story of America's most famous fighter squadron.
