The Italeri EA-18G Growler (HC-2824) is a 1:48 scale model kit of the U.S. Navy’s carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft, derived from the tandem-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet. The finished model measures 38.1 cm and includes a decal sheet to build one of three versions.

Based on the Boeing EA-18G Growler, this subject reflects an airframe optimised for electronic attack. In place of the F/A-18’s 20 mm cannon, the Growler mounts a dedicated electronic warfare suite. Operated by a two-person crew—pilot and Weapon System Officer—it can carry high- and low-band jamming pods, additional fuel tanks and AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles on its hard points. Powered by General Electric engines, the real aircraft reaches up to Mach 1.8 with flight performance comparable to carrier-based fighters.

The Boeing EA-18 G Growler was designed to fulfil a specific U.S. Navy requirement. The aim was to commission a specialized carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft to replace the outdated Grumman EA-6B Prowler. The Growler is directly derived from the tandem-seat fighter F/A-18 F Super Hornet and retains all of its main aerodynamic features and characteristics. Its General Electric engines enable the Growler to attain a maximum speed of mach 1.8 and its flight performance is similar to that of the main carrier-based aircraft. The 2-man crew consists of the pilot and a WSO (Weapon System Officer). In place of the F/A-18’s 20 mm cannon, the Growler has a dedicated electronic warfare system mounted. Additionally, on its hard points, the Growler can carry high and low band jamming pods, additional fuel tanks and AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles.
