Italeri 2824 - 1/48 EA-18G Growler: precise 1/48 scale kit for model builders

The Italeri 2824 EA-18G Growler kit delivers a faithful 1/48 scale replica of the EA-18G electronic attack aircraft. This model is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy careful assembly and realistic surface detail, offering a satisfying build and a strong display presence once complete.

Background and why this model matters

The EA-18G Growler is a specialised derivative of the F/A-18F Super Hornet, adapted for electronic warfare roles. Entering service around 2009, the Growler supports strike operations by jamming radar and communications. This kit gives modellers the chance to reproduce a modern asset with accurate lines and mission equipment.

Assembly quality and builder experience

Italeri provides crisply moulded components that require careful fitting and finishing. The kit includes external stores and landing gear detail that enhance realism. Builders will find the parts align well, rewarding patience and standard modelling techniques.

Display appeal and collector value

When finished, this Growler makes a standout addition to modern military collections. Its 1/48 scale proportions and surface detail are suited for dioramas or solo display, reflecting Italeri's focus on authenticity for display-ready models.
