Product summary for Academy 12623 - 1/144 USN E-2C VAW-113 Black Eagles

The Academy 12623 captures the E-2C Hawkeye in small-scale form, emphasising the aircrafts radar dome and carrier support configuration. The kit presents the VAW-113 Black Eagles marking set for an authentic squadron look.

Operational background and role

The E-2C provides airborne early warning and control for naval operations, extending a carrier groups detection range. This model makes those operational aspects tangible at 1/144 scale.

The kit offers clear part breakdown suitable for careful modellers; delicate components benefit from gentle handling and test-fitting. Painting and decal application will complete the Black Eagles presentation.

What skill level suits this kit?

The kit is aimed at novices with some experience and seasoned modellers alike; it is compact but contains small items that need careful assembly.

Are spare parts or aftermarket details commonly available?

Given the 1/144 scale, specialised aftermarket sets are less common, but basic detailing can be achieved with fine putty, photo-etched parts, or careful paintwork.

How should I approach weathering on this scale?

Light washes and subtle dry-brushing work best at 1/144 to suggest panel lines and service wear without obscuring small details.
