Hasegawa 1/72 F-14D Tomcat Vf-213 Blacklions Model Kit

The F-14D Tomcat in VF-213 "Blacklions" markings represents the ultimate production variant of Grumman's legendary fleet defense fighter. The F-14D featured AN/APG-71 radar, GE F110-400 engines, and digital avionics that made it the most capable Tomcat variant. VF-213 was one of the last squadrons to operate the F-14, flying combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan before transitioning to the F/A-18F Super Hornet. The Blacklions' distinctive lion insignia dated back to 1955, representing one of naval aviation's most storied fighter squadrons. Hasegawa captures the definitive Tomcat with VF-213 markings.
