Brutus Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 This is one interesting GB not too be missed. Entering with an old kit stored aboutmore than 10 years, Hasegawa 1/72 EA-6B Prowler and the markings would be a little trick as I need to sun them to see what can be salvaged out of it. Here's what it looks like: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutus Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Kit seats were lacking in detail, so I decided to do a little modification to it. With Tamiya tapes for the set belts and cooper wires for the ejection handles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Good luck with the decals, I hope you can salvage them as the schemes look pretty nice! I really like your harnesses, I always struggle doing this! Do the ejection handles actually have just one loop? Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutus Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Here's the reference picture to the ejection seat, it uses GRUEA-7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brutus Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 It has been months since I last updated this build, was at a complete stop as I was looking for the replacement decals as the kit ones were badly damaged through time and finally managed to get an exact same kit using the donor decals. ;) Finally got it painted and waiting it to cure before a coat of future, later on decals time!

Ken Middleton Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 nice work Brutus - an "old school" Prowler paint job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutus Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm almost there now, it's about 95% complete after about a month silence on it's progress. Just had a layer of Future before some wash over it and then on with the canopy. Here's how it looks like at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
