Construction

First, the entire E-2 fuselage is built. You can already tell here that Reobrix has apparently purchased from various manufacturers. The bricks sit extremely tightly and also have minimal color variations. The side panels and the roof are built separately. By attaching it, the torso part that is bent due to stress is straightened. The wings are built separately. Unfortunately, the rotating mechanism here is not as tight as the rest. It comes loose easily when you want to fold down the wings.

The rear wings can also be folded so that the aircraft takes up as little space as possible on a carrier. After the radar has been built and put in place, it’s time for the numerous stickers. These are transferred over a carrier layer and therefore look like prints. However, you shouldn’t make any mistakes. A correction is not possible and will destroy the sticker.

Conclusion:

Visually the model looks quite nice. The clamping force is above average and you could also use the torso as a baseball bat.
