E-2A Grumman Hawkeye

This is a Grumman E-2A Hawkeye radar plane. My father was in the U.S. Navy in the early 60's and was stationed on the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier. I wanted to make a detailed model of the Enterprise itself, but I quickly came to my senses and realized my abilities and that task were not compatible. Instead, I decided to model the plane that best represented my father's service. The Enterprise had many of these planes on board, and my father served as a radarman, so it seemed a natural fit. I modeled this to be one piece, with hefty supports. The supports have a pretty significant impact on the model, so if you want a quality model you'll want to print this at a low layer height and plan on doing a small bit of post-production work.
