Trumpeter 1/48 ERA-3B Skywarrior: Cold War Reconnaissance in Scale

The Trumpeter 02873 1/48 ERA-3B Skywarrior kit reproduces the imposing naval reconnaissance bomber in precise 1/48 detail. Model makers will find the airframe lines and mission fittings faithful to the original aircraft.

Role Background and Modelling Rewards

The ERA-3B carried specialised electronic gear for intelligence tasks, which gives modellers interesting areas to emphasise such as external sensors and antennae. The scale supports fine surface work and realistic paint schemes.

Construction Advice and Presentation

Tackle subassemblies in stages, paying attention to alignment and seam finishes for a professional result. A completed model makes an eye-catching display on a shelf or within a collection cabinet.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
The kit offers separate landing gear components and bay doors, allowing builders to present the model parked or in a stowed configuration if you follow the instructions carefully.
Check the kit contents for decals. If present, standard decal setting solutions and a light coat of clear varnish will help them integrate with paint and weathering effects.
Dry-fit sections, then use filler and sanding in stages. Repeat test fits and blend panel lines before painting to preserve the aircraft's surface detail.
