With a role similar to that of the F-111, the swing-wing Fencer is an all-weather strike aircraft. It’s been used by Soviet and Russian air forces in Afghanistan and Chechnya.
At the same time Trumpeter released its 1/32 scale Tomcat, it also issued a big-scale kit of the F-14’s replacement on U.S. carriers, the Super Hornet.
The T-62 started life as an up-gunned version of the Soviet Union’s T-55. The newer tank’s 115mm main gun was the first smooth-bore cannon mounted on any tank.
Serving as the U.S. Navy’s first-line fighter from 1974 to 2006, Grumman’s Tomcat needs little introduction. Trumpeter’s first kit represents the D model Super Tomcat, the last production variant.
