About product

E-2C Hawkeye JASDF with NP2000 propellers 1:48 (Kinetic)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the E-2C Hawkeye airborne early warning and control aircraft in the markings of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), in 1:48 scale from Kinetic. This version covers the modernized eight-blade NP2000 propellers. It is a large model with the characteristic rotating dish antenna (the rotodome) above the fuselage.

The real subject

The E-2 Hawkeye is an American carrier-based airborne early warning and control (AEW) aircraft from Grumman, recognizable by the large rotating dish antenna above the fuselage. It serves as a flying radar that detects air and surface targets at long range and directs friendly aircraft. Japan is one of the largest operators of the Hawkeye outside the United States and flies it from land bases to patrol its airspace; the older machines received new, quieter and more efficient eight-blade NP2000 propellers.

Building and painting tips

A large 1:48 model calls for firm bonding of the wings and careful fitting of the rotodome. Glue the plastic with liquid modeling cement, mask the extensive cockpit glazing, unify the surface with a primer and apply the color with an airbrush. Build and paint the eight-blade NP2000 propellers separately. Low-visibility gray finishes suit discreet modulation and a fine wash; with a model this big, count on a stand or a display area that can take the weight.

Who the model is for

  • Fans of early warning aircraft and Japanese hardware
  • Collectors of large models in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who will appreciate the unusual shape with the rotodome
  • Anyone interested in the modernized NP2000 propellers

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is an American carrier-based airborne early warning and control (AEW) aircraft with a large rotating dish antenna above the fuselage — it serves as a flying radar that detects targets at long range and directs friendly aircraft.

They are modernized eight-blade propellers with which the older Hawkeyes were re-equipped — they are quieter and more efficient than the original four-blade units.

In 1:48 scale it is a sizeable model with a large span and the dish antenna; count on having enough space to display it.
