The Tomcat's primary missions are air superiority, fleet air defense, and precision strike against ground targets. To facilitate early introduction of the F-14 into service the first version of the aircraft was planned using the engine and weapons system technology from the F-111B, and then, progressively introduce new engines and a new weapons system into the F-14 new airframe. Thus, the designation F-14A was assigned to the new aircraft equipped with updated TF-30 engines and the AN\/AWG-9 weapons system from the F-111B. A F-14B was planned to follow using the engine from the advanced technology engine competition. Then, the 'B' would be followed by the F-14C with a new weapons system replacing the AN\/AWG-9. In the event, the AN\/AWG-9 replacement was delayed and when it arrived, as the AN\/APG-71, the designation assigned to the new aircraft was F-14D. The F-14C, thus, was never produced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-09-21T16:50:05+08:00","created_at":"2019-09-21T16:51:54+08:00","vendor":"Dragon","type":"Military","tags":["1\/72","Aircraft","Brand_Dragon","Completed Models","Dragon","Dragon Wings","Military","Scale Models","Scale_1\/72","Series_Aircraft","Series_Warbirds","Status_Out of Stock"],"price":39900,"price_min":39900,"price_max":39900,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":30149367824462,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DR50214","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"1\/72 F-14D Super Tomcat, U.S. Navy VF-213 \"Black Lions\"","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":39900,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214.jpg?v=1569055917","\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214_1.jpg?v=1569055918","\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214_2.jpg?v=1569055920"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214.jpg?v=1569055917","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":678659555406,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.809,"height":372,"width":673,"src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214.jpg?v=1569055917"},"aspect_ratio":1.809,"height":372,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214.jpg?v=1569055917","width":673},{"alt":null,"id":678659653710,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.81,"height":420,"width":760,"src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214_1.jpg?v=1569055918"},"aspect_ratio":1.81,"height":420,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214_1.jpg?v=1569055918","width":760},{"alt":null,"id":678659784782,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.81,"height":420,"width":760,"src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214_2.jpg?v=1569055920"},"aspect_ratio":1.81,"height":420,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/DR50214_2.jpg?v=1569055920","width":760}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eDragon Wings Warbirds 50214 - 1\/72 F-14D Super Tomcat, U.S. Navy VF-213 \"Black Lions\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the \"Black Lions\":\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe “Black Lions” squadron has the rare distinction of being one of only a handful of U.S. Navy squadrons that has retained the designation it was originally established with, that of VF-213.
