Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Boeing E-3 sentry is a military airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft that provides all-weather surveillance, command, control and communications to the United States, United Kingdom, France, NATO and other air defense forces. The E-3 offers superior surveillance capabilities. The E-3 Sentry is a modified Boeing 707-320B Advanced Commercial Airframe. It is a militarized version of the Boeing 707-320B commercial jetliner airframe. The USAF E-3 fleet completed its largest upgrade which is the Block 30/35 Modification in 2001. The four enhancements were the Electronic Support Measures (ESM) for passive detection, Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) to provide secure, anti-jam communication, memory capability enhancement in the computer and Global Positoning System (GPS). E-3 Sentry aircraft were among the first to deploy during Operation Shield where they immediately established an around-the-clock radar screen to defend against Iraqi forces. In its strategic defense role, the E-3 provides the means to detect, identify, track and intercept airborne threats. The E-10 MC2A, based upon the Boeing 767-400ER airframe, was intended to replace the United States operated E-3 (along with the RC-135 and the E-8 Oint STARS), but budget cutbacks have clouded its future. Production ended in 1992 after 68 had been built.

This review is from: E-3A Sentry AWACS - 1/100 scale model (Toy)

I cannot even begin to explain what a magnificent model this. First of all it was for a going away gift and it got shipped in record time. Because of this, I was able to get a plate engraved and put it on the base of the plane with two days to spare for the party. It was extremely well received by the person going away and she was thrilled beyond belief at the detail of this model. I seriously can't say enough about the extraordinary service and quality of this model.
