First look: Revell Germany's 1/144 E-2C Hawkeye

Just purchased this little gem of a kit, and thought I’d share this blissful moment with you all…[:)]

The breakdown of the parts appears to be traditional, the cockpit and undercarriage details are very good for this scale, but it’s the fine engraving that won me over. Revell proposes 3 color schemes, 2 US Navy mnachines plus one French. The decal sheet contains a commendable number of ‘stencils’ type de decals and all the walkways, plus the instrument panels.

It’s priced at £6.99 here which makes it slightly over $10 over where most of you are. Given the details, the apparent quality of the decals and the size of the kit (quite big for 1/144!), it’s well worth it, apparently!

Get yourself one!

Now!

A 1/144 Hawkeye… hmmm… now that would make a nice addition to my 1/144 shelf!!
Thanks DJ, will be looking for that one! [:)]

Take care,
Frank

Interesting! Didn’t know one was coming out.

Now, what about that An-224???

end of the year, supposedly, Brian…
