Gemini Jets G2RAA1253 Gemini200
Gemini Jets’ Gemini200 series G2RAA1253 replicates in 1/200-scale diecast the E-7A Wedgetail, serial Number A30-002, of No. 2 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
RAAF Wedgetail
In 1999, under “Project Wedgetail”, Australia ordered four AEW&C aircraft with options for three more, two of which have been taken up. The first two were delivered to the RAAF on November 26, 2009.
All RAAF Wedgetails are operated by No. 2 Squadron RAAF, based at RAAF Base Williamtown and has a permanent detachment at RAAF Base Tindal.
The first operational deployment occurred on April 1, 2014, assisting in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and, in October 2014, the first overseas deployment supporting coalition forces conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
E-7 AEW&C
The Boeing E-7 AEW&C is a twin-engine airborne early warning and control aircraft based on the B737 NG; it has a fixed, active, electronically scanned array radar antenna instead of a rotating one.
Designed for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and designated E-7A Wedgetail, it first flew on May 20, 2004, with delivery to the RAAF commencing in November 2009.
The Turkish Air Force, the Republic of Korea Air Force, and the United Kingdom have also selected the E-7, and the United States Air Force announced that the E-7 would replace the E-3 beginning in 2027.
It is powered by two CFM International CFM56-7B27A axial-flow turbofan engines; avionics include the Northrop Grumman Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array radar that doubles for electronic intelligence gathering (ELINT). Countermeasures are mounted on the nose, wingtips and tail.
