As there are several Tomcat kits (and other swing-wing planes) available and most of them have connected swing-wings, you could use them for your inspiration. Here are some Ideas an solutions: first 3 ideas are from Hobby Model Tu-160 Blackjack (scratch build connection, not included in the kit) 2 gears + 2 push rods (bigger scales) 2 push rods + connecting level (bigger scales) 2 push rods + slider (I used this for tailerons) 2 gear sections integrated into wings (Halinksi Tomcat) 2 gears + 2 push rods (Maly Modelarz Tomcat) sliding connection (Halinksi Tornado) 2 gear sections integrated into wings (Fly Model Aardvark) 2 gear sections integrated into wings (Fly Model Fencer) And finally I had in mind an old plastic Tornado which used only 1 push rod connected on one wing in front of the pivot and on the other wing aft of it, idealized like a big Z.

Seeing as this would be just for slow r.p.m. fun and imagination, little pulleys and some high quality rubber bands would work quite well for making inter-meshing blades.. VCR's had belts that lasted for years. I have a briefcase full of them!
Speaking of inter-meshing, Do you or have you made a Kaman Huskie? |

I looked at the FG version of the F-14, but it's too simple. The wings aren't even linked. |

Looks promising. I guess you pin the holes for pivots, then put a central pin that slides for the slots. I might be able to make that work.
