About product

The E-4B Nightwatch in 1:200 scale

A plastic kit of the four-engined airborne command post of the US Air Force. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted; in 1:200 scale the fuselage comes out about thirty-five centimeters long and the span about thirty, so even in this small scale it is a large piece for the shelf.

The real subject

The E-4B came about by converting a wide-body four-engined airliner into a flying command post from which the armed forces can be directed even if the ground posts stopped working. It was powered by four turbofan engines slung under the wing. On the spine behind the flight deck it carries a conspicuous elongated radome with the antenna for satellite communication, which is the identifying mark of the whole family, and the inside of the fuselage is taken up by operator stations instead of passenger seats. The Nightwatch name has long been tied to the type.

Building and painting tips

  • Glue the long fuselage in stages and let the joint cure thoroughly, otherwise the finished model will bow.
  • Fill and sand the seams on the fuselage; on a uniform light finish every mark shows.
  • Mask the glazing before spraying, not once the finish has dried.
  • Give the base under the decals a gloss clear coat, so that no air gets underneath them.
  • A large model is worth seating on a stand or a base, so that it does not press on the landing gear legs.

Who it is for

For collectors of large aircraft in a uniform 1:200 scale and for modelers interested in Cold War hardware. Thanks to the low part count the build is within reach even of a less experienced builder; the demanding part is rather the clean sanding of the seams and an even coat of paint.

The package holds the kit. The paints, the glue and other aids are not included, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It has to be assembled. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted, and the paints and the glue have to be your own.

In 1:200 scale the length comes out at about thirty-five centimeters and the span at about thirty. Reckon with matching space in your cabinet.

Yes. There are few parts in this scale; what calls for attention is mainly sanding the seams on the fuselage and an even coat over a large area.

Ordinary liquid cement for polystyrene. Glue the glazing with a cement for clear parts, so that it does not go cloudy.
