Hasegawa 1/72 EA-18G Growler - Black Ravens 50th anniversary release

The Hasegawa 1/72 EA-18G Growler model celebrates the VAQ-135 Black Ravens 50th anniversary. As the electronic attack derivative of the F/A-18F Super Hornet, the Growler brings specialised systems to carrier operations. This kit renders the aircrafts profile and role at a manageable modelling scale, appealing to aviation fans and diorama makers.

Why the Growler matters and what modellers will enjoy

The EA-18G provides airborne electronic warfare support, and its unique pods and antenna arrays set it apart visually. Hasegawa captures those external cues so you can reproduce the aircrafts task equipment convincingly. Attention to squadron markings gives modellers a clear chance to showcase the Black Ravens 50th anniversary scheme.

Build notes and presentation tips

Intermediate skill is a good fit for this kit, which requires careful alignment and painting to reveal recessed details. Once finished, the Growler makes a compact but striking display model that highlights the anniversary artwork and operational fittings.

Specifications

  • 1/72 scale representation
  • Material: Polystyrene plastic
  • Requires assembly with adhesive
  • Paints required to complete livery
  • Made by Hasegawa
This kit is geared to modellers familiar with glue and painting. Beginners can tackle it but should expect careful work on small components and decals.
The model is mainly an external replica. Modellers often add simple ballast for stability or aftermarket parts for cockpit details, depending on display goals.
Use a light primer, then block in the base greys before applying squadron decals and weathering. Fine masking helps achieve crisp lines on the commemorative livery.
