Maverick's F-14A Tomcat: Build the hero of your youth
There are films that stay with you throughout your life and scenes that you never forget. But often the fascination only remains on the screen, or you only find small toy models that don't do justice to the power of the original. With this solid clamping building block set you can bring the real "Top Gun" atmosphere into your living room. This set solves the problem of a lack of tactility in film memorabilia: you build memories of wild flight maneuvers and real camaraderie scene by scene. It's more than just a model; it's a tribute to the cult film, brick by brick.
Why this set is your next big project
- Iconic mechanics: Like the original, you can swivel the wings (swivel wing design) - perfect for the high-speed look.
- Full interaction: The landing gear extends and retracts and the armament is easily detachable to simulate various missions.
- Legendary Crew: The set includes two minifigures: Maverick and Goose. This is how the cockpit comes to life.
- Gigantic dimensions: At a scale of 1:32 with a wingspan of over 60 cm and 2687 parts, this model is an absolute heavyweight.
- Building fun for adults: Designed for builders ages 18 and up, this set provides hours of challenging construction fun.
- Revell Brick System: High-quality, precise terminal blocks guarantee stability without glue.
The F-14 Tomcat is the undisputed star of Top Gun, and this Brick System set impressively captures its aesthetic. You will be amazed at how the massive fuselage and the characteristic air inlets are created from almost 2,700 individual parts. It's a building process that requires patience but rewards you with a spectacular result.
Unlike static, stick-on plastic models, this set invites interaction with its robust features. Fold the wings back for supersonic flight or extend the landing gear for carrier landing. The integration of the characters of Maverick and Goose provides the emotional core - they immediately bring to mind the famous "I feel the need, the need for speed". Whether as the centerpiece of your showcase or as the ultimate gift for a film fan: this is where nostalgia meets modern building block technology.
Background information
The Grumman F-14 Tomcat was the backbone of US naval aviation for decades and became a global legend thanks to the 1986 film. Its ability to change wing geometry in flight made it unique: wide spread for takeoffs and landings on short aircraft carrier decks, and arrow-shaped for speeds beyond Mach 2. In the film, it was presented not just as a weapon, but as a symbol of flying skill and coolness. This model captures the exact machine with which Maverick dominated the airspace and competed against the fictional MiG-28.
Scope of delivery
- Model kit made of clamping blocks (not assembled)

For beginners, Revell models with skill level 1 or 2 are recommended. Level 1 includes simple plug-in kits without glue, while level 2 requires basic gluing work. These models have fewer components (usually 20-50 parts) and simple color schemes. Experienced model makers should only start at level 3, as this already requires detailed painting and precise gluing work.
The packaging colors show a basic painting for quick results. However, the construction instructions contain detailed color recommendations for authentic, true-to-scale replicas. Professional model makers use the instructions' extended color palette for more realistic results. This enables both beginners to create simple projects and experts to create detailed replicas.
Revell releases new models and new editions of classic kits every month. Around 60-80 new products are released every year, including airplanes, ships, cars and RC models. The list of new products is updated at the beginning of each month. Collectors and enthusiasts should check the Revell webshop regularly, as limited editions often sell out quickly.
Revell invests significantly in product development, precise injection molds and detailed construction instructions. Each model goes through extensive design processes, tool making and quality control according to the EN 71.5 standard. The higher costs result from licensed original artwork, multilingual instructions and the use of high-quality plastics that enable precise details.
You can obtain spare parts for Revell models from official customer service or authorized dealers. Many parts can be reordered individually, although an exact kit number is required. Alternatively, specialized model building communities offer exchanges. For older, no longer produced models, 3D printing services or aftermarket manufacturers can often help.
The basic equipment includes plastic glue, side cutters, files, basic paints (black, white, gray) and brushes of various sizes. Primer, clear coat and detail brushes are recommended for advanced projects. A cutting mat set and good lighting significantly improve the quality of work. Budget beginners can start well with around 50-80 euros.
Revell RC models are differentiated according to age groups. Ready-to-run models are suitable for ages 8 and up, while kit RC models require experience in model building. Adults benefit from expandable systems and tuning options. The skill level marking helps with selection - RC beginners should start with levels 1-2, even as adults.
The Revell range includes over 400 active models, which is challenging for small retailers in terms of inventory and finances. Specialist retailers tend to focus on popular categories or regional preferences. The official Revell web shop offers the full range, while local dealers often allow special orders. Remaining stocks of older models can often be found in specialized model making shops.
We accept product suggestions via the contact form on the website. Successful proposals take into account market potential, licensability and technical feasibility. Keep in mind that developing new models takes 12-24 months. Detailed suggestions with reference material have a higher chance of success, but due to the high volume, not all ideas can be implemented.
All Revell products comply with the European toy standard and are regularly tested for harmful substances. Safety instructions in the construction instructions are mandatory and particularly concern adhesives and paints. Models below skill level 3 are designed for children aged 10 and over, higher levels require supervision or are only recommended for children aged 14 and over. The CE marking confirms conformity.
