This model is originally an E3
AWACS Kit from Heller once converted using the Flight Path conversion kit it is
almost straight forward except for the follow points. You have to remake
the left outboard engine to have 4 generators. Add all ariels and
antennas. customize decals as most of the previous 50 J-star models I have made
since 1996 had the 93rd ACW. This one being #51 has the 116th ACW
markings.

It was painted with
model masters gloss gull grey for the finish and lightly brushed with future for
a better gloss finish. Model was taken outside suspended on fishing wire from a
pool pole and using normal 35mm cam took various shots in flying mode as
undercarriage was selected up.
