1/144 - Boeing E-7A Wedgetail/E-737 Peace Eye by Academy - sprues - release in 2025

Academy is working on a 1/144th Boeing E-7A Wedgetail.

Sound logical after the still future 1/144 P-8A Poseidon kit (thread).

Well, considering 3 of the 5 runners in their new P-8 kit are prominently labeled "P-8/E-7", I think it is safe to say they have definitely have a concept of a plan for the E-7.

And don't we all love it when a concept of a plan comes together? 😁

Hi,

This is great and welcome information. 

It was not originally so natural in my mind as the E-7 and the P-8 don't share the same basic fuselage (B737-700 and -800 respectively -  notwithstanding sensor fairings, antennas and various equipment development... ) 

Still, 3 out of the 5 runners being common is a good start.

It is a good surprise for me and both will find a way to my stack when they are available.

Having had association with both the Aust. Wedgetail and Poseiden P-8 programs, these will naturally join my Aussie stash. P-8 is already on order.

Red lightning stripe on the v.stab is the Australian E-7.

Had to happen - as I spent a fortune on resin conversions a little while ago

Good to know it is coming, probably not too far from now. 

It looks like ti's quite complete and detailled. 

 

Cheers
