strikeeagle801 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Deffinately one of the better Prowlers I've seen period, but I have to say that the seats (especially) rock! Those things are amazingly well done. Great job. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gonzalo Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Great job! I am hesitant to start mine. Did you have to use nose weights? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly Quirk Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Great job! I am hesitant to start mine. Did you have to use nose weights? Thanks guys! I don't know if I HAD to add nose weight, but I did just to be safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cruiz Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow Kelly, you did a superb job with this model Carlos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly Quirk Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thank you everybody for all the nice words. It was a fun project, and probably one of my best cockpit efforts to date. The Kinetic kit was pretty decent, except for the wing root fit. With some heavy sanding and dry fitting, they settled in though. I also wasn't thrilled with the way they did the two peice canopies, they were very fragile. Looks good on the shelf, I finally have my Prowler! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qian Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 That looks fantastic! AWESOME job!!! B) Quick question though. Does the Prowler suffer from those ridiculously large ejector pin marks all over that plaques all of Kinetic's F-16s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly Quirk Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 Quick question though. Does the Prowler suffer from those ridiculously large ejector pin marks all over that plaques all of Kinetic's F-16s? Not really. There were a few on the landing gear doors, but they were pretty easy to scrape/sand away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
