The cockpit with the Eduard zoom. You can see nealry nothing on the finished model, so I took the quick way.

The kit wipers were eaten by the carpet monster, so I made new ones with some Evergreen profiles,

Album info
E-2c with some aftermarket an a lot of weight. I choosed the unfolded wings cause it shows the unusual shape of this bird. The build was quite time consuming. You need a lot of putty and sanding although the fit wasn't too bad. To keep it safely standing on the landing gears I added 120g of lead into the front section.
