Hasegawa 1/72 EA-18G Growler Vaq-138 Yellow Jack Model Kit

The EA-18G Growler in VAQ-138 "Yellow Jackets" markings is the Navy's electronic warfare platform operated by one of its most experienced electronic attack squadrons. VAQ-138, based at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington, has deployed extensively aboard aircraft carriers providing electronic warfare support and SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) capability. The Yellow Jackets insignia features a wasp, reflecting the squadron's stinging electronic attack mission. The Growler carries jamming pods, anti-radiation missiles, and retains self-defense air-to-air capability. Hasegawa captures the electronic warfare configuration with VAQ-138 markings.
