Product Description
- Big Plane Kit, a Ukrainian passenger aircraft injection kit manufacturer, is pleased to announce their new product, the 1/72 E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft.
- The E-7 is an airborne early warning and control aircraft equipped with a flat MESA (Multifunction Electronically Scanned Array) radar antenna on the back of a B737-700 fuselage. It is an airborne support aircraft that can stay in the air for long periods of time while monitoring and tracking hostile aircraft and commanding and controlling friendly aircraft.
- The antennas are built into the front and rear of the fairing and on both sides of the pylon and can search 60 degrees forward and backward, and 120 degrees on the sides of the pylon. They can electronically scan 360 degrees in less than 10 seconds, and the antennas also serve as antennas for the improved IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system.
- The thin, plate-like antenna reduces air resistance compared to conventional disk-shaped funnel domes.
- Detection range is more than 600km in look-up mode, more than 370km in look-down mode for fighter size targets, more than 240km for frigate size targets at sea.
- It can simultaneously track 180 targets, intercepting 24 of them. It also functions as an ELINT antenna, with a detection range of over 850 km at an altitude of 9,000 m.
- The kit comes with newly molded parts such as the MESA antenna, wing tip antennas, and ventral fins to recreate the E-7A.
- Comes with paint mask stickers and multiple Royal Australian Air Force and Turkish Air Force decals.
- When completed, the total length will be approximately 496mm and the total width approximately 467mm.
