TARPS pod for Grumman F-14 Tomcat (1 pcs) (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RSU48-0369 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RSU48-0369 provides a TARPS pod for the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in 1/48, produced as a 3D printed detail part to sharpen the pod’s edges and surface definition compared to simplified kit shapes.

Aftermarket accessory intended for aircraft scale model kits and miniature replicas, focused on external pod detailing.

Detailed parts for realistic 1/48 scale aircraft model builds, designed to help keep clean geometry and alignment on the centerline station (kit-dependent).

On an F-14 build, a TARPS pod adds a distinctive centerline store and changes the model’s silhouette without turning the project into a heavy modification. This set is intended for compatible 1/48 Tomcat kits where you want that specific under-fuselage loadout.

For modelers: dry-fit the pod to your kit’s centerline pylon/station before cleanup. Remove 3D printing supports in small steps, then refine contact points with light sanding; a thin primer coat helps reveal any remaining support nubs before final paint.

FAQ

Is this pod compatible with every 1/48 F-14 kit?

It is intended for 1/48 F-14 Tomcat builds, but attachment points can vary by kit. Test-fit to the centerline station and adjust the contact surface as needed.

How should I clean up 3D printed supports?

Clip supports gradually, then smooth the remaining nubs with light sanding. A thin primer coat makes it easier to spot and correct any leftover marks.

When is the best time to fit the pod during the build?

Check alignment early, before final paint. Confirm clearance to the pylon/fuselage area, then paint the pod separately and attach after main finishing to keep edges clean.
