1/350 Tamiya E-2C Hawkeye

This is one I made just for fun.  A friend of mine had an idea to build a Tamiya Big-E. He bought the kit and bought all the photo etched parts.  I helped him buy a few packs of those tidy little aircraft.  Having examined the content, hey, they are interesting.  Then I had the hot idea of doing one which I originally planned to placed on his ship. The plane was built out of the box, with Gold Medal Model decals.  I stretched a sprue to make the wires. This looks good.

I would like to have the radome and props made rotating, and cut the boarding door, open the front radome, etc. etc. ............... ha ha, just kidding. This one is only a little bigger than a penny. I don't think I could do more than I did.

This model is now in my collection. My friend still has the kit, but it is still a kit only.

I am doing another E-2C in 1/144. Hope I could show them side by side to you guys soon.
