This latest MENG LS-019 1/48 Boeing EA-18G Growler Electronic Attack Aircraft Yellow Jackets model is 378mm long and 285mm wide after assembly. This kit includes pre-cut stainless steel PE parts, pre-cut painting masks and two paint schemes. It has accurate ALQ-99 high/low band jamming pods, ALQ-218V(2) tactical receivers and electronic warfare antennae. The specially designed pluggable main pylons allow the easy change of electronic pods or external fuel tanks. This kit includes the AGM-88 high-speed anti-radiation missiles.

The electronic warfare antennae on the surface of fuselage are realistic.
The details on both sides of the new tooling front fuselage are excellently replicated.
The folding wing can be built in folded or unfolded position.
Flaps and slats can be installed in retracted or deployed positions. Horizontal stabilizers and rudders are movable.
The two-seat variant's cockpit and cockpit interior equipment are precisely replicated. Two U.S. Navy pilot figures featuring realistic gestures and finely replicated suit and equipment are included. Two flight helmet options are provided.
The specially designed pluggable main pylons allow the easy change of electronic pods, external fuel tanks and the AGM-88 high-speed anti-radiation missiles.
Pre-cut stainless steel PE parts are included to replicate the precision details inside the nozzles.
The paint scheme A is the high-visibility livery of the aircraft of Lieutenant Colonel M.J. Simpson, the commanding officer of VAQ-138 'Yellow Jackets,' and Lieutenant Colonel B.L. Jones, the electronic warfare officer, stationed at Misawa Air Base in Japan in 2022. The yellow jacket emblem on the vertical stabilizer is particularly striking. Misawa Air Base is located in Misawa City, Aomori Prefecture, at the northern tip of Honshu Island. It hosts both Japan Air Self-Defense Force and the U.S. military troops.
Scheme B represents the low-visibility livery of the aircraft of Captain Mark Gertman and Major Michelle Fessenden, the electronic warfare officer, from VAQ-138 'Yellow Jackets,' stationed at Misawa Air Base in Japan in 2022. Research conducted by the U.S. Air Force has shown that at altitudes above 5,000 meters, visual color resolution significantly diminishes, and color differences virtually disappear. In such conditions, the predominant colors perceived are light gray and dark gray. Therefore, the low-visibility livery, which uses two shades of light gray, is designed to better blend with high-altitude backgrounds and enhance concealment.
** This model kit is supplied in unassembled and unpainted plastic components. Please note that glue, model paints, and other basic modelling tools are required and sold separately.
