Model Set Boeing E-3A

Model Set Boeing E-3A Sentry: The watchful eye in the sky

It is one of the most distinctive aircraft in military history: the Boeing E-3A Sentry, better known as AWACS. With its huge, rotating radar on the fuselage, it is the flying command center of NATO and the US Air Force. With this model set you can bring the modern standard of air surveillance to your craft table. We not only equipped the set with the appropriate basic paints, glue and brushes, but also modernized the kit itself. Thanks to new components (“New Tools”), you can precisely replicate the current equipment levels with modernized on-board electronics and sensors.

Why this set should not be missing from any military collection

• Everything included: Get started straight away – Aqua Color paints, a brush and the Contacta Professional Mini glue are already included in the box.
• Up to date: The kit includes new parts to represent the current antenna and sensor configurations of the modernized fleet.
• Two strong versions: Choose between the modern US Air Force version (E-3G, 2023) or the spectacular NATO “Tigermeet” livery from Geilenkirchen (2017).
• Imposing size: Even in a scale of 1:144, the model impresses with a wingspan of over 30 cm and the characteristic “Rotodome”.
• Attention to detail: Level 4 and 85 parts ensure sophisticated crafting fun, with engines and fuselage structures being finely worked out.

The construction of the E-3A is fascinating because it is based on the classic Boeing 707, but the military additions give it a completely unique character. The highlight is of course the radar rotodome that towers over the fuselage. With the included decals you can build a piece of local history: NATO's E-3A component is based in Geilenkirchen, Germany and the "Tigermeet" design from 2017 is a real visual highlight for any display case.

Background information

AWACS stands for “Airborne Warning And Control System”. The E-3 Sentry provides allies with critical information about the airspace and battlefield in real time. It can locate aircraft hundreds of kilometers away, long before ground-based radars would see them. The E-3G version (Block 40/45) shown here represents the most comprehensive upgrade in the type's history, replacing analog technology with state-of-the-art digital systems. This model celebrates the technical evolution of one of the most important aircraft in Western defense.
