Quick look at Academy 12623 - 1/144 USN E-2C VAW-113 Black Eagles

The Academy 12623 kit presents a faithful small-scale version of the E-2C Hawkeye, focusing on the radar dome and carrier support features. The VAW-113 Black Eagles scheme is portrayed to give a squadron-accurate appearance once finished.

Service function and squadron notes

Is the kit accurate at 1/144 scale?

Yes, the proportions and key details like the radome are captured well for the scale, making it a faithful small representation of the E-2C.

Does this require special painting skills?

Basic painting skills suffice, though an airbrush helps for smooth finishes; panel line washes and light weathering will improve realism.

What is the best way to store finished models?

Keep finished models in a dust-free cabinet out of direct sunlight and avoid crowded shelves to prevent fragile parts from bending or breaking.
