Trumpeter 1/35 MPQ-53 C-Band Tracking Radar is a plastic kit of the radar of the US Patriot air defence system. It has 410 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The AN/MPQ-53 is a C-band radar that forms the heart of a fire unit of the US Army MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile system. A single phased-array antenna handles target search, tracking and missile guidance. The radar is mounted on a trailer so that it can move with the battery.
According to the manufacturer, the Trumpeter kit in 1/35 scale consists of 410 parts, and the finished model is around 295 mm long. The tyres are hollow rubber with a pronounced tread pattern and photo-etched parts are included. The box art shows the radar with its antenna raised, in three-colour woodland camouflage.
The model complements a collection of modern air defence, for example alongside a Patriot launcher, and the large flat antenna rewards careful painting and subtle weathering. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
