Build a modern carrier-based surveillance aircraft with the Heller E-2C Hawkeye Marine Nationale model kit. This highly distinctive twin-turboprop aircraft is one of the most advanced airborne early warning platforms ever developed, originally designed by Grumman to provide long-range radar surveillance, airspace control, and fleet coordination from aircraft carriers. Featuring its unmistakable rotating radar dome and high-mounted folding wings, the E-2 Hawkeye remains a critical asset in modern naval aviation.

This version represents the French Navy aircraft operated from the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, highlighting its role in European naval operations and NATO missions. The E-2C variant, introduced in 1970, brought significant improvements in detection, communication, and data processing, making it one of the most sophisticated command and control aircraft of its time.

This detailed plastic model kit features a wingspan of approximately 340mm and a length of 244mm when completed, delivering an impressive display presence. Designed for modellers seeking a modern naval aviation subject, it offers a rewarding build with accurate proportions and authentic Marine Nationale markings.
