1/48 Kinetic EA-6B Prowler w/improvements


Recommended Posts

HI gang,

here are some pics of my 1/48 Kinetic EA-6B Prowler from VAQ-136 Gauntlets. Apart the very nice  Aires resin cockpit (late) there are some improvements about the kit (read errors on the kit).

Stay tuned!

cheers

Maurizio

Resin pit Painted in mid grey after a Tamiya NATO Black coverall. The grey is Painted not insisting in the angles/recessed areas.    Instrument panel in NATO Black, a sort of very dark grey.

Cockpit Painted (some minor details must be still added). Please note the different shades of dark grey, black, dark brown of each single side panel. Tamiya panel accent black was used for the recessed panels and a mid grey for drybrushing (Italeri acrilic paints).

Thank you Elmo et al,

The following picture shows that I sandpapered those raised parts on the wings. They will be replaced with smaller pieces of plasticard. They are also located in wrong places.

Also note the entire fuselage and wings have been sandpapered with wet 1200 grid paper since the plastic surface was not smooth.
