Hasegawa 07252 1/48 USN Carrier-borne ECM EA18G Growler

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

Designed especially for electronic warfare, the EA-18G Growler is a specialized update of the celebrated F/A-18F Super Hornet. The U.S. Navy's VAQ-129 "Vikings" Electronic Attack Squadron was the first to adopt the aircraft in June 2008. VAQ-129 executed the first carrier-assisted Growler landing aboard the U.S.S. Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) in 2009. 2011's Operation Odyssey Dawn marked the Growler's first use in combat. Kit features new electronic pods (ALQ-99 and ALQ-218), antenna fairings, AGM-88 HARM missile parts and markings for U.S. Navy VAQWINGPAC VAQ-129 "Vikings" CVWP, Code: NJ550 2008.
