Greetings! This is my 1/144 Revell E2-C Hawkeye "Liberty Bells". This is fully modified to have a wing fold which is totally scratchbuilt. The center main wing was built using styrene sheet however the leading edge was retained to maintain the wing and engine placement correctly. Flaps are positioned down which was again fully scratchbuilt using styrene sheets. Thinning was done on the props, landing gear covers, wing edges etc. to maintain scale thickness. Fuselage windows was made using Microscale Kristal Klear, arials was replaced with .20 styrene sheet and a .03mm fishing line for scale. Finished with Tamiya's acrylic and weathered with enamels. Overall the model looks very much in scale with a very good and crisp details. I think Revell done a very good job with this and is comparable in terms of quality to any other hawkeye kits in 72nd and 48th scale at the present. Thanks and Enjoy!
