Brandon,
I want that one so damn bad now lol
one problem, I cant order off of ebay :'(

23 April 2014, 02:11

B Schrijver
Seems like eBay is your only option. That's a very nice kit at a low price. On online hobby shops it goes for around 50-60 bucks.

23 April 2014, 02:17

Hunter Cummins
I know it is
I wish I had acess to ebay

23 April 2014, 02:26

B Schrijver

23 April 2014, 02:35

Another E-2 Brandon, you are getting as bad as me with F-14s.

24 April 2014, 00:37

B Schrijver
It's an addiction....I also got a giant decal set for all of the E-2s in the Atlantic fleet. It's only 20....😢

24 April 2014, 00:41

B Schrijver
Also,how do you not love this aircraft? It's such a beautiful plane. 🙂😉

24 April 2014, 01:25

24 April 2014, 16:52

B Schrijver
Pics are up

25 April 2014, 01:04

Clifford Keesler
I love the E-2 but it has to be 1/48. You are off to a good start.

25 April 2014, 02:41

B Schrijver
Thanks Clifford 😄 1/48 is too big. Atleast for an E-2.

25 April 2014, 02:46

B Schrijver
More pictures 😄

25 April 2014, 18:42

Hunter Cummins
I like it so far 🙂

25 April 2014, 20:46

25 April 2014, 20:56

B Schrijver
Thanks Clifford. It's got 60 or so parts,also I'm on school vacation so that's all I really do.

Jose Miguel Rodriguez
You´re wellcome Brandon. My next aircraft will be an E-2, but from Hasegawa mouldings 😉

26 April 2014, 01:29

B Schrijver
I'm looking forward to see that. Will you do the 1/48 or 1/72?

26 April 2014, 01:36

Jose Miguel Rodriguez
1/72 Brandon. I don´t know yet the markings.... may be US Navy or Mexican Navy

26 April 2014, 02:13

B Schrijver
The 1/72 one is such a nice kit. You'll have no problems putting it together. Either markings that you choose,it'll come out great. I know it will. 😄

26 April 2014, 02:17

David Lengyel
It's not that big after all 🙂 Note: I am encouraging myself to build 1/48 😄

26 April 2014, 05:46

It looks like easy to build. It´s also in my stash. Nice project.

4 May 2014, 06:35

B Schrijver
Thanks Jose! 😄
Dietmar,it's quite a nice kit. It goes together very well but you'll need putty on the usual places that are on most aircraft kits.

4 May 2014, 13:14

B Schrijver
New pictures! Decaling has started! (28-31)

4 May 2014, 17:29

4 May 2014, 18:18

B Schrijver
