Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA4805 Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye 942, Israeli Defense Force.

The Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye was first introduced to the IAF in 1981 when 4 aircraft were delivered. Israel was the first foreign country to obtain the E-2Cs. 

The aircraft were assigned to the 92 Squadron “Daya (Milvus) Squadron” and played a role in the 1982 Lebanon War and other conflicts over the following years. Israel was the first user to install air-to-air refuelling capabilities. 

In 2002 Israel sold 3 of the 4 E-2Cs to Mexico with the remaining aircraft being placed in the Israeli Air Force Museum.
