TARPS pod for Grumman F-14 Tomcat (1 pcs) (3D Printed) Scale 1:72 ResKit RSU72-0147 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RSU72-0147 provides a detailed TARPS reconnaissance pod designed for the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in 1/72. The set includes one Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance Pod System (TARPS) used by U.S. Navy F-14 aircraft for tactical reconnaissance missions.

This aftermarket accessory is intended for 1/72 scale aircraft model kits and replaces simplified external stores with a more accurate representation of the TARPS pod used on operational Tomcat aircraft.

The component is produced using high-resolution 3D printing, allowing precise reproduction of the pod’s aerodynamic shape and sensor bay structure.

The TARPS system was carried on the centerline station of the F-14 and enabled the aircraft to perform long-range reconnaissance missions using a suite of internal cameras and sensors.

For modelers: test-fit the pod to the aircraft centerline station before painting. Installing the pod during the final stages of the build helps maintain surface detail and prevents damage to the delicate external store.
