AMT8750 ES-3A SHADOW AEW VERSION OF S-3A VIKING 1/48 SCALE
The ES-3A Shadow has been derived
directly from the famous twin-engines anti-submarine Lockheed S-3 Viking. It
was designed as a carrier-based, subsonic, all-weather, long-range, electronic
reconnaissance aircraft with the specific purpose to replace the aging EA-3B
Skywarrior starting from the beginning of '90s. Basically the ES-3A was
developed on modified S-3A where an extensive set of electronic and modern
sensors and communication tools replaced the submarine detection and maritime
surveillance equipment. The new operating configuration has not changed the
flight performance of Lockheed airframe. The ES-3A has in fact a good flight
range and it is very reliable. Such features are very appreciate for its new
mission profile to support the U.S. Navy fleet in the tactical communications
of the various units of the battle group.
