Trumpeter 1/32 EA-18G Growler is a plastic kit of the American carrier-based electronic attack aircraft derived from the Super Hornet. The kit comprises 487 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The EA-18G Growler is the US Navy’s electronic attack aircraft, derived from the two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet. According to the manufacturer it shares more than 90 % of its design with the Super Hornet, including the airframe and the AN/APG-79 AESA radar. The dedicated equipment occupies the space once used by the internal 20 mm cannon and the wingtips with AN/ALQ-218 receivers; on its stations it carries ALQ-99 jamming pods, AIM-120 missiles for self-defence and AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles.
According to Trumpeter, the 1/32 kit contains 487 parts on 28 sprues, separate upper and lower fuselage halves, two photo-etched parts and rubber tyres. The finished model is about 57 cm long with a 42.5 cm wingspan, making it a striking piece in any display cabinet.
The large scale leaves room for careful work on the cockpit, wheel wells and underwing stores; the grey finish of US Navy carrier aircraft comes to life with restrained weathering that brings out the panel lines. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
