Hawkeye

Here is an image of Dave Porter's Fujimi 1/72 scale Northrop/Grumman E2 C Hawkeye. This is a very old kit with a lot of fit problems and a lot of raised detail that a modeler has to cope with. It was quite an exercise trying to get a decent result. The Hawkeye’s role is a carrier borne early warning system. It serves as the “eyes and ears” of fleet much like that of the AWACs but with less capability.
