The Eduard 648290 F-14A wheels late 1/48 set is designed for advanced modelers who wish to enhance the realism of their Tamiya 1:48 scale F-14A Tomcat model. This set is intended to replace the kit's plastic wheels with highly detailed resin wheels in the "late" version. The wheels feature pronounced tread patterns, realistic detailing, and separate masks for easy painting of the rims and tires.

Historical information about the F-14A Tomcat

The F-14A Tomcat was a legendary, two-seat, carrier-based fighter of the United States Navy, used from the early 1970s until 2006. It is a symbol of the "Cold War" period and took part in numerous missions, including over the Persian Gulf and during Operation "Desert Storm." The introduction of the "late" wheel version in the model is a faithful reproduction of changes implemented at the end of production and during the aircraft's operational life — these details differed from the earlier wheel types in both construction and finishing details, as well as tread design.
