US Navy Grumman F-14A Tomcat Fleet Defense Fighter - VF-84 "Jolly Rogers", Operation Desert Storm, Kuwait, 1991 (1:72 Scale)

Built for speed and armed with ultra long-range weapons. It's no wonder that the F-14 Tomcat is the main defender of the US fleet. The Tomcat's AWG-9 radar has the ability to engage as many as six targets at once, which is the same number of targets that can be engaged by three F-18 Hornets. Additionally, it's Phoenix air-to-air missiles can kill hostile bombers 90 miles away -- before they can launch their attacks.

USAF General Dynamics F-16C Block 30 Viper Fighter - 87-0257, 614th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Lucky Devils", Doha AB, Qatar, 1991 [Low-Vis Scheme] (1:72 Scale)

Even at the ripe old age of 20, the F-16 Falcon remains a fast and potent favorite among fighter pilots, and one of the best fighters in its class. Designed originally as a no-frills, single-engine "hot rod", the addition of improved radar and weaponry have made the Falcon a super, lightweight jet. Used mainly as a bomber, the Fighting Falcon can also turn-and-burn with unbridled fury when provoked.
