Hobbytime Review
Designed as the primary fighter aircraft of the US Navy, the F-14 Tomcat was able to perform air superiority, accompanying and attack tasks, and was undoubtedly one of the most sophisticated and technologically developed aircraft serving an aircraft carrier. The prototype machine flew on December 21, 1970 and the first aircraft was delivered to the US Navy after four years. The last Tomcat planes were only out of service in 2006, which shows the high quality and great performance of this machine perfectly. The most innovative and characteristic solution for F-14 is the variable geometry wings. These wings, manually controlled by the computer or by the pilot, can change the attack angles to 60 degrees at a minimum speed of 20 degrees to 60 degrees. The changing geometry of the wings allows the optimum positioning of the wings when making tight maneuver, so that this powerful aircraft exhibits an incredible maneuvering capability. The heart of the Tomcat weapon system is the Hughes Ang-9 radar that cooperates with AIM-54A Phoenix air-air missiles with a range of up to 180 km. The ability to follow and attack multiple targets is particularly important. As the battle experience in the Vietnam War shows, a less important element of the armament is the ball-M-61 fires up to 6,000 bullets per minute in the M-61 Vulcan body! Of course, you can also install Tomcat, such as Sparrow, Sidewinder rockets or various bombs. F-14 also owes most of its success to the excellent power unit in the form of a Pratt-Whitney TF30 engine with a pair of pushing power and art burning from 9300. Technical data: maximum speed: 2480 km/h, climbing speed: 153 m/s, practical ceiling 17100 m, maximum range: 3200 km, armament: fixed - single, six -barrel 20 mm m61 -a1 ball, hanging - up to 6580 kg.
About Hasegawa
Hasegawa Corporation (株式会社ハセガワ, Kabushiki Gaisha Hasegawa) is a Japanese company that produces plastic model kits of various vehicles, including aircraft, cars, ships, military vehicles, model armor, model spacecraft and science fiction kits. Hasegawa, headquartered in Shizuoka, does not have such a wide range of products, but competes with his neighbor Tamiya. First of all, Hasegawa kits that use the polystyrene are typically considered very accurate, but still lack the ease of assembly offered by Tamiya Kits, although it is very high.
Hobbico is imported to North America by the Great Planet Model Distributor Department. Hasegawa ended his long -standing agreement with Dragon Models Limited for US distribution in early 2010. Hasegawa also brings Revell to Japan, which sells them to Japan and sells them under both the Revell brand and their own brand label, and Revell often re -boxes for European and North American markets. Hasegawa Kits, which do not have their own paint products series, come with instructions that indicate the use of Gunze Sangyo products, especially GSI Creos brand paints. This is contrary to Tamiya, which determines the use of in -house brands. Hasegawa is known for launching a large number of main products, adding or changing a small number of parts, or changing stickers only for SOE. This strategy allows them to raise the return of their investment in SET tools to the highest level, because the production of such small variations is very low compared to the production cost of the original. Most of such variations are usually published only once.
