Kinetic K48013 Grumman E-2C Hawkeye (US Navy) in 1/48 scale is a high-quality plastic assembly model kit that will delight both military aviation enthusiasts and modelers looking to expand their collection with a representative machine of the modern United States Navy. This kit faithfully captures the details of the carrier-based early warning aircraft – the Grumman E-2C Hawkeye, which has been one of the cornerstones of the contemporary U.S. armed forces for decades.

The Grumman E-2C Hawkeye is an American carrier-based airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft, developed by Grumman in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Introduced into service with the United States Navy air forces (US Navy) in 1973, it became an indispensable part of carrier protection, enabling the early detection of airborne and surface targets as well as air battle management. It has participated in operations over the Persian Gulf, Iraq, and in numerous patrol and peacekeeping missions during the Cold War and modern times.

This 1/48 scale model is characterized by excellent proportions, accurately rendered panel lines, clearly defined surface divisions, precisely fitted cockpit elements, an AN/APS-145 radar, and detailed landing gear. The kit is made from high-quality plastic that allows for easy processing and precise fitting of parts. The set includes numerous assembly details, a clear canopy, and a rich decal sheet to enable authentic US Navy markings. Glue and paints are not included.
