Plastic model aircraft kit: EA-18G Growler 'VAQ-131 Lancers 2025' 1:72 Hasegawa 02528

The Boeing EA-18G Growler is an advanced electronic warfare aircraft, which is a specialized version of the two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter. This machine was designed to replace the EA-6B Prowler aircraft in service with the United States Navy. The Growler combines the excellent aerodynamic properties of the Super Hornet with an extensive set of sensors and jamming systems, allowing it to operate effectively in environments heavily saturated with enemy air defenses. The main task of the EA-18G is the suppression of enemy radar systems (SEAD) and conducting electronic warfare, which makes it a key element of modern air operations.

The 1:72 scale model reflects the design of this modern aircraft, offering the high quality of detail typical of Hasegawa kits. The set allows for the creation of a miniature in the livery of the VAQ-131 Lancers unit, which is one of the most recognizable squadrons specializing in electronic warfare. This version includes new decals that allow for the reproduction of the current markings of this unit's machines from 2025.
