At present this page features only bare information about all the 1/72nd F-14 model kits that I know of in existence. It will be expanding to cover other scales and to give more detailed reviews of each kit.
Kit information is in the current format:- first the F-14 variant the kit builds into, then the product code of the manufacturer, finally any details I have about the colour scheme/equipment/weapons included with the kit.
Brian Plescia has been kind enough to do an extremely comprehensive review and tips for the Hasegawa F-14's. Check it out here

Decals for:-VF-21 Farewell Scheme "NF 200" BuNo:-161616 black tail
VF-21 "NF 202" low vis, BuNo:-162589
The kit uses K103 Wings 94, Atsugi Independence as the base, including instructions from that kit. also included are
decals from Wings 95 Atsugi Independence kit, which allow you to build the VF-154 black tail bird in addition to the VF-21 aircraft.
F-14D Super Tomcat "Vandy 1" (K118)
Decals for:- All Black Bird F-14D with VX-9
Kit is a reissue of SP04, with a new resin part for the TCS and IRST pod and VX-9 markings. It is thus NOT representative of
a fleet F-14D and needs alterations in several areas to improve accuracy. Look for a more detailed review soon.
F-14A Black Knights (K121)

F-14D VF-2 Tomcat 25th Anniversary (K139)
Decals for:- VF-2 Tomcat 25th Anniversary Scheme "NE101" BuNo:- 159630
Another F-14 that uses the Grim Reapers kit as a base and includes a new decal sheet plus TCS/IRST
to bring it up to a F-14D. Unfortunately the aircraft depicted should also have LANTIRN mods, plus
the imporved cockpit of the D. The kit includes none of these, so be prepared for some work to make
it a representative F-14D. The decal sheet is truly gorgeous though.

Both these Italeri kits are great quality, especially when you consider their low price compared to Hasegawa or Fujimi kits.
The deatil is nicely engraved, cockpits are fairly accurate, ejection seats good, in short a great kit, either to make from the box
or as a start for superdetailing. Only pity is that the F-14B includes VF-154 decals, a squadron that has never flown the F-14B.
