DESCRIPTION

The Lockheed ES-3A Shadow is a high-quality, photo-real 3D model of the specialized carrier-borne electronic intelligence (ELINT) aircraft derived from the S-3 Viking. This asset captures the aircraft's distinctive profile, characterized by the extensive array of sensors and antennas required for its reconnaissance mission. The model is presented in an authentic United States Navy low-visibility tactical grey livery, featuring the iconic NAVY service markings and the US national star-and-bar insignia on the wings and fuselage.

The model is built with high-accuracy geometry and utilizes clean, base-color shading suitable for various lighting environments. All renders are provided without post-processing.

Suitable for all major 3D software suites, including Blender, 3ds Max, Maya, and Unreal Engine. Ideal for modern naval warfare simulations, military aviation documentaries, and high-fidelity carrier deck visualizations.

Features:

High-quality polygonal model, correctly scaled to represent the dimensions of the original electronic warfare aircraft.

Model is fully textured with all materials applied to the fuselage, high-set wings, and specialized sensor pods.

Accurate representation of the dual high-bypass turbofan engines housed in under-wing nacelles.

Detailed cockpit glazing and a prominent dorsal sensor hump unique to the Shadow variant.

Realistic landing gear assembly and under-wing external fuel tanks or sensor pods.

Features an extended aerial refueling probe and tailhook assembly for carrier operations.

All textures and materials are included in the package.

Blender objects are logically named and organized for easy scene integration.

No cleanup is required—the model is ready for immediate use in your project.
