Is there any who knows what I have to do to upgrade an Italitre F-14 A to a F-14 D model? I have always been an F-18, F-4 Phantom, and F-104 fan. I don’t know much about a F-14. Thank you
There really is quite a bit, office, engines, antennas all over it. I would go over to www.meteorprod.com and do a search, I have had good luck there.
[#ditto] First thing I would do is swap out the cockpit and get a resin cockpit detail set that accuratly reflects the D Cat, the engine exhaust cans are also different so you want to swap those out too.
Best research site I’ve ever used for the Tomcat right here:
http://www.anft.net/f-14/index.htm
From there you can research the differences of all varients on the F-14 and then use the Eizzle’s link to get any after market parts to convert an A to a D.
Good Luck!

I believe there was an FSM article on converting an F-14A to the D. The pod under the nose is larger than on the A. And the cockpit is quite a bit different. I’d say the FSM article came out anywhere from 5 to 8 years ago.
