Eduard SS848 E-2C+ Heller 1/72 – Photo-Etched Detail Set for the E-2C+ Hawkeye Cockpit

The Eduard SS848 E-2C+ set is a dedicated collection of colored pre-painted photo-etched details designed for the 1/72 scale plastic model of the E-2C+ Hawkeye by Heller. This product is an essential addition for modelers aiming to replicate the cockpit of the modern American carrier-based early warning aircraft with unparalleled authenticity. Thanks to the use of precision-etched components, the set enables the construction of realistic instrument panels, side panels, and crew harnesses, reflecting the details of the contemporary E-2C+ avionics standard.

The original Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American AEW&C aircraft that has been one of the cornerstones of the US Navy's aerial surveillance since the 1960s. The Hawkeye was widely used during the Cold War, participating in carrier operations in the Mediterranean and Pacific, among others; later variants (including the E-2C+) are still in service today, actively involved in military operations such as "Desert Storm" or in support of modern NATO missions. The E-2C+ is a modernized version with expanded radar capabilities and upgraded avionics.
