Kinetic’s 1/48 E-2C Hawkeye 2000 VAW-123 “Screwtops” CAG Bird captures the distinctive carrier-based airborne early warning aircraft flown by one of the U.S. Navy’s most respected Hawkeye squadrons. This detailed kit recreates the E-2C Hawkeye 2000 with its iconic twin-engine turboprop layout, rotating radar dome, detailed cockpit, accurate fuselage features, and squadron-specific markings for the VAW-123 commander’s aircraft. The “Screwtops” have a long history of supporting U.S. Navy carrier operations, providing critical airborne surveillance, command, and control capabilities that help coordinate fleet air defense and strike missions.
