Interested in how the E-2 goes together. I think Mike did one of those :hmm:

I've built the Hawkeye. Awesome plane with tons of detail. Wingroot to fuselage is known to be warped. Plenty of heat and clamps will bring it into shape. With the wings unfolded it is nearly the same size as the 1/48 B-17, just a tad smaller.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

With a realistic backdrop, that Hawkeye could pass for the real thing at first glance. Very well done Brandon :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

I’ve done the Hasegawa 1/72 scale E-2 Hawkeye in my teen years.
