Minicraft 1/144 E3/E8 AWACS/J-Star Model Kit

The E-3 AWACS is easily the most recognizable aircraft in operation today with the unique “radome” and fuselages that house advanced radar and electronic sensors. The E-8 features enhanced communications and command and control functions similar to but more limited in scope when compared to the E-3 AWACS. Based on the Boeing 707 airframe, the E-3 AWACS and E-8 Joint Star provide theatre command and control of US and Allied military forces worldwide. 

The new Minicraft kit features parts to build either the early E-3A AWACS with radar dish, or the E-8 Joint Star. New decals printed by Cartograf offer 2 marking options representing the following aircraft:

E-3A Sentry AWACS, 552^nd AWCW, Tinker AFB, OK 1995

E-8C J-Star, 116^th ACW, Georgia ANG, Robbins AFB, GA, 2004
