1/48 Kinetic EA-6B with black box cockpit
Hey all,
Thought I'd get my feet wet and submit my first article! This is the kinetic EA-6B. I used the black box resin cockpit that is designed for the old monogram kit. Yes I know, not a good idea but I had it on hand and it seemed a good choice at the time. In retrospect the kit cockpit with careful painting would look great.
The HARM's are from the hasegawa weapons set. Decals are of VAQ-137 from the 1st gulf war.
The kit itself is excellent. I don't recall any assembly issues. Certainly way better than the old monogram offering.
The base is pine wood with routed edges. I spray painted the carrier deck markings. The patches are from my time with "the rooks".
Hope you enjoy the pictures!
Nice work and welcome, Chuck!
Tx!
Very nice and welcome to the forum

Welcome to this great modelling community, Chuck.
Your first entry is definitely a beauty.

An amazing Prowler, Chuck!
Nice to hear that the Kinetic kit is good.
Welcome aboard!
Great first post. Really like this Prowler.
Tx guys!
Welcome! That's a great-looking Prowler - the paint work is really nice. I'm preparing to do a 1/72 Prowler in the Desert Storm 3-tone tan/brown scheme. Love the A-6 airframe, including the EA versions!
VERY nice and welcome!
Looks great! Welcome aboard.
Gorgeous work- love the patchy paint finish- Fantastic. This might be what i needed to break out my Monogram EA-6B. No way I can upgrade to the Kinetic kit, but I need to get the stash worked on!
