Hasegawa 02351 - 1/72 EA-18G Growler VAQ-135 Black Ravens 50th Anniversary Model Kit - Display Focused Release  [HA-02351]

Hasegawa 1/72 EA-18G Growler - VAQ-135 Black Ravens anniversary livery

The Hasegawa 1/72 EA-18G Growler kit marks the VAQ-135 Black Ravens 50th anniversary. The Growler is the electronic warfare variant of the Super Hornet, carrying specialised pods and antennas. This model reproduces the aircrafts external arrangement at 1/72 scale, making it suitable for collectors and display builders.

Operational background and appeal to kit builders

Designed for airborne electronic attack, the EA-18G plays a key role in modern fleet operations. Hasegawa focuses on the Growlers external shapes to enable accurate representation of its mission equipment. The commemorative Black Ravens markings receive particular attention, so finished builds clearly reflect the anniversary scheme.

Construction guidance and showcase ideas

The kit is best approached by modellers with intermediate skills because of fine parts and paint work. Completed models serve well in a static display or as part of a carrier deck vignette, where the anniversary livery stands out.
