Rapier Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi to all the U.S.Navy-, especially Prowler-cracks, I've got a question to you - if you let me ask... :blush: Managed to find one of Hasegawa's earlier limited edition kits K108 (04068) EA-6B Prowler "Independence" while I was looking for a 1/72 Prowler to build. Basic kit is "Prowler low viz" from 1987 with special decals and painting instructions. Last one tells: BuNo 161883 NF 620 CVW 5 VAQ-136 "Gauntlets" April 1994 Crew: Capt Ken Heimgardner; Lt Tony Parrillo; Capt Brian Calhoun; Lcdr Bryan Lower July 1994 Crew: Capt Brian Calhoun; Lt Tony Parrillo; Capt Harvey McDonald; Lt Pat Bowman USS Independence I need to know: What ICAP is this special plane? (Maybe I can use this?) :unsure: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VA-115EFR Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Sorry this is all I can give you exterior wise. This was taken in summer of 1994 in the VA-115/VAQ-136 hangar. I believe it's either the ICAP II or ICAP II Block 86. Edited January 26, 2012 by VA-115EFR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it's either the ICAP II or ICAP II Block 86. Thank you very much, VF-115EFR! The painting instruction tells also to delete the blade-antenna underneath the front cockpit. Aires will give to options on resin-upgrades ICAP II early and late. So I will have a look at the (noteable) differences. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
