Scale Replica of the EKA-3B Skywarrior by Trumpeter

The Trumpeter 1/48 EKA-3B Skywarrior kit targets modellers with an interest in Cold War naval platforms. The Skywarrior's long service and distinctive role make it an appealing subject for collectors and display builders alike.

Legacy and Modelling Interest

Used in electronic warfare and tanker support roles, the EKA-3B offers versatile modelling opportunities. This kit allows builders to portray mission-specific configurations and to apply period-accurate markings with confidence.

Precision Moulding and Options

Castings show fine surface definition and cockpit appointments, supporting detailed painting and finishing work. The kit also offers display flexibility with alternative bay door positions and small-scale fittings for authentic presentation.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Extensive, with detailed instructions

How should I prepare parts before painting?

Clean parts to remove mould release, sand mating surfaces lightly and use primer to check for seam lines before applying final colours.

What adhesives work best for this plastic kit?

Plastic cement for polystyrene is recommended for most joins; use cyanoacrylate for small detail parts or where extra strength is needed.

Is additional detailing required for a display-grade finish?

The kit is well detailed out of the box, but adding photo-etch items, rigging and fine paintwork will achieve a museum-quality appearance.

Can the kit be posed with landing gear retracted?

Yes, the kit supports both gear-down and gear-up displays depending on how you assemble the undercarriage and bay doors.
