Grumman F-14A Tomcat Air Intakes for Trumpeter kit (3D Printed) Scale 1:32 ResKit RSU32-0153 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RSU32-0153 provides a set of air intakes for the Grumman F-14A Tomcat in 1/32 scale.

This resin 3D printed aftermarket accessory is intended for aircraft scale model kits and focuses on smoother intake duct geometry and sharper intake lip edges compared to simplified kit parts (kit-dependent).

On the F-14 airframe the intake assemblies form a major visual element along the forward fuselage. Replacing standard kit parts with separate printed ducts helps create a cleaner intake path and maintains consistent inner surface curvature under primer and paint.

For modelers: dry-fit both intake ducts inside the fuselage halves before final assembly. Remove printing supports gradually and sand contact surfaces lightly so the intake lips align evenly with the fuselage panels.

FAQ

Are these air intakes designed specifically for the Trumpeter kit?

The set is intended for the 1/32 Trumpeter F-14A Tomcat kit. Minor adjustments may still be required depending on the kit assembly sequence.

Do 3D printed intake ducts require preparation before painting?

Yes. Wash the resin parts to remove printing residue and apply a light primer coat to reveal any remaining support marks before finishing.

How can I keep the intake lips aligned with the fuselage?

Test-fit both intakes with the fuselage halves before gluing. Light sanding of the contact surfaces can help achieve consistent alignment along the intake edges.
