Jennings Heilig Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Falcon also made a very nice vacuform conversion kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I mastered the moulds for the one available from ID Models back in the late '70's. I sued the drawings which were published in IPMS USA mag. I still have one pair of fuselage halves and a Fujimi kit but better than that I have a completed model from a friends collection, sadly he passed away a few years back.

Eerie Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Any updates on this topic? The photos on zone five page had been removed. I also thinking of going the same route. Fujimi E-2C, RVHP C-2 kit and Wolf pack folded wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonywood Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 North Wing Model Craft from Japan do / did an excellent resin conversion for the Hasegawa E-2. I bought mine directly from them a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 @Dermo245 is working on a conversion using the Falcon fuselage in this WIP thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARDOG Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I sold my Falcon vac and Fujimi kits a while back because I just didn't have the time/skills for the project. And then, I would have had to source some decals too! I took a hop on one from Korea to Japan back in 80' when I was a Midshipman and wanted to model one since they were an important part of the fleet. A noisy, rearward-facing ride but nice to be headed home on! I REALLY wish Hasegawa would make a nice, new C-2A along the lines of their excellent E-2C. It sure would cut down on the price of buying a kit AND a conversion set! WARDOG Edited May 17, 2020 by WARDOG Spelling errors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s way above my skill level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
