USMCA6E Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Love this Bird,you did a great job on the build and paint job.How was this build?I understand the kinetic build EA6B can be quite a challenge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelguy2 Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 It can be made a challenge. The lower forward wing/fuselage join although addressed in the latest issue of the kit still needs a bit more plastic removal to achieve a good fit. The wingtip nav lights are too small for the openings-1/16" filler at the back of the light opening corrects this. The wingtip speed brakes if modeled closed can benefit from the addition of some plastic card on the top pieces to eliminate a step between the brake and wing thickness. Only real issues I can think of. My third Kinetic Prowler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Congrats, she looks really nice. What's the story behind the Targeting pod ?? I never knew the Prowler was wired to carry it and why would she be carrying it ? Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sodasorb Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I building one currently. VMAQ-4. I used some strong clamps to get the wing roots to fit. Luckily it worked! Just finished the painting. Yours looks great and I hope mine comes out 1/2 as good. Really nice Prowler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could hold the wing in place and trace out where it meets the forward landing hear bay corner. Trim that but down on the wing for a better fit, works foir their Intruder kits as well.

Sodasorb Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Thanks for the tip as I have an A-6 as well. I’ll give that a try next go round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
