The U.S. Navy VAQ-138 'Yellow Jackets' Electronic Attack Squadron was established in February 1976, initially equipped with the EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft and deployed aboard the USS Saratoga (CV-60). The squadron began transitioning to the EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft between late 2009 and 2010. In 2011, it deployed to Iraq and Kuwait in support of Operation New Dawn, followed by a deployment to the Middle East in 2013 to participate in Operation Enduring Freedom. Since then, the squadron has been frequently stationed overseas, carrying out various missions.
This latest MENG LS-019 1/48 Boeing EA-18G Growler Electronic Attack Aircraft Yellow Jackets model is 378mm long and 285mm wide after assembly. This kit includes pre-cut stainless steel PE parts, pre-cut painting masks and two paint schemes. It has accurate ALQ-99 high/low band jamming pods, ALQ-218V(2) tactical receivers and electronic warfare antennae. The specially designed pluggable main pylons allow the easy change of electronic pods or external fuel tanks. This kit includes the AGM-88 high-speed anti-radiation missiles.
The motto of VAQ-138 'Yellow Jackets' Electronic Attack Squadron is 'Nothing Less Than The Best,' a phrase they live up to through their outstanding operations. Now, you too can build a model of this remarkable aircraft and experience the charm of the 'Yellow Jackets' for yourself.
