Review: Perfect for all model makers - Very life like, great for all ages Review: Good kit and Fun to build! - I bought both this F-14 Tomcat and the newer F/A-18 “Maverick” kit in 1/48 scale. My 13 yo son built the F-14 all by himself. I think this is his 3rd or 4th model kit he’s built. Kit comes ONLY with 1 pilot. My son borrowed the back seat pilot from another kit. Painted the whole thing with Valero and Testor’s Model Master Acrylic paints. He used a airbrush and compressor kit to paint the exterior. Came out great and he really enjoyed building it as much as he enjoyed watching the “TOP GUN” movie for 1st time. In my opinion, this kit can be easily and completely painted by hand without the need for a airbrush. ## Features - This is a plastic model kit (unbuilt / unpainted) - NOT A TOY - ASSEMBLY AND PAINTING REQUIRED (glue and paint not included) - Contains parts to build one model. - Skill level: Novice ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08F3W38SK | | Age Range (Description) | Baby | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Art Craft Kit Type | model building kit | | Brand | Revell | | Brand Name | Revell | | Colour | Silver | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 305 Reviews | | Included Components | model kit | | Item Dimensions | 25 x 25 x 25 Millimeters | | Item Type | model kit | | Item Weight | 472 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 25 x 25 x 25 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | Revell | | Manufacturer Part Number | 855872 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | 1:48 Maverick's F-14A Tomcat | | Model number | 85-5872 | | Number of Pieces | 170 | | Product Style | realistic | | Scale | 1:48 | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | Top Gun | | Size | Large | | Subject Character | F-14A Tomcat [Top Gun] | | Theme | Movie | | UPC | 031445058721 | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Baby - **Brand:** Revell - **Colour:** Silver - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 25 x 25 x 25 Millimeters - **Theme:** Movie ## Images ![RMX855872 1:48 Maverick's F-14A Tomcat [Top Gun] [Model Building KIT] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611+FELxAAL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Cual es el tamaño?** A: Mide 37 x 39 cm **Q: The gear can go up and canopy can open or the wings can move tell me , and is good the durability?** A: Overall the airplane itself was nice I came across issues with fitting and I put together about 5 f14s b4 this one and I was over it and bought a better f14 and just used the top gun decals that came with it **Q: La dimensión de este producto NO puede ser de 1*1*1. ¿Por favor cuál es la dimensión de este producto?** A: 39 x 37 cm **Q: What kind of paint should you use? Im new to model planes and i want to paint this for somebody as a gift but have no experience** A: This information is from revel website please take a look. In every Revell of Germany kit painting directions are provided for the building of the model. These directions reference the line of hobby paints sold by Revell of Germany in Europe. However, these paints are not imported into North America and are not available. So in an effort to help model builders in North America, the chart below provides comparable paints more readily available. It lists the 3 most popular brands found in local stores. While many have a different name than the Revell Germany color, the actual colors have been matched as closely as possible. Please note the RAL number references the Official German Military Color system similar to the USA Federal Standards guide used by the American military. https://content.revell.de/downloads/usa/TES_Revell_Paint_Match_Guide.pdf Thanks ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for all model makers *by T***M on 15 January 2025* Very life like, great for all ages ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good kit and Fun to build! *by A***Z on 5 March 2021* I bought both this F-14 Tomcat and the newer F/A-18 “Maverick” kit in 1/48 scale.
