Academy 12637 1/144 EC-121 Warning Star Model Summary

The Academy 1/144 scale USAF EC-121 Warning Star model kit presents a scaled representation of a Cold War airborne early warning aircraft. The EC-121 was a key asset in the 1950s and 1960s, fitted with radar domes and a long fuselage to house equipment and crew. This kit captures the main external characteristics for display and study.

Role in Surveillance and Key Details

The EC-121 Warning Star performed long duration radar patrols, and its external features are distinct indicators of that mission. The model reproduces these elements so modellers can reproduce the aircrafts profile with accurate reference to period appearance.

Construction Advice and Finishing Suggestions

Intended for modellers comfortable with small scale work, the Academy EC-121 kit contains precise moulded components that need gluing and painting. Careful test fitting and patient painting will produce the best result, with decals applied last for authentic markings.
