Hasegawa 1/72 EA-18G Growler - Commemorative VAQ-135 Black Ravens issue

The Hasegawa 1/72 EA-18G Growler model commemorates the VAQ-135 Black Ravens 50th anniversary. The EA-18G is the electronic warfare offshoot of the F/A-18F Super Hornet, and this kit aims to reflect the aircrafts specialist role. It is a tidy scale representation that appeals to modern military aviation model collectors.

Significance in service and reasons to model it

The Growler provides airborne electronic attack support, making it an important asset in fleet operations. Hasegawa recreates the external mission fittings so modellers can present realistic silhouettes and pod detail. Special attention to squadron insignia helps the kit stand out as an anniversary release.

Construction notes and final presentation

This kit suits modellers at an intermediate level due to delicate parts and finishing needs. Once assembled and painted the model presents a smart display piece that highlights the Black Ravens anniversary markings and equipage.

Yes, the finished 1/72 Growler makes a neat display model, particularly when painted and decalled carefully to show the anniversary scheme.
The kit is a faithful external replica. Enthusiasts sometimes add aftermarket cockpit or weapon details, but the box parts are designed to represent the aircraft accurately for static display.
Use reference photos, a suitable primer and thin paint coats to retain panel lines. Decal placement and subtle weathering bring realism to the Black Ravens anniversary livery.
