Academy 12623 - 1/144 USN E-2C VAW-113 Black Eagles Display Kit  [AC-12623]

Overview of Academy 12623 - 1/144 USN E-2C VAW-113 Black Eagles

The Academy 12623 reproduces the E-2C Hawkeye in compact 1/144 format, emphasising the aircraft's radar dome and carrier support role. The VAW-113 Black Eagles markings are represented to give a recognisable squadron finish.

Role in naval operations

The E-2C functions as an airborne early warning and control asset for carrier groups, enhancing fleet awareness and coordination. This kit provides a way to study that role through a scale model of the Black Eagles configuration.

Modelling tips and scale considerations

This 1/144 kit is sized for easy storage and group display while keeping enough surface detail for painting and weathering. Builders should expect delicate parts and plan for careful trimming and test-fitting during assembly.
