There was a diecast company, TSM Models, that made replicas of the F-14s in 1/72 and 1/200 scales from the classic Top Gun movie. I don’t have one and so can’t comment on the quality, but I suspect it’s somewhere between the quality of Witty Wings and the premium Century Wings models. Here’s a link to a reputable retailer that still has them in stock:
