Timmy! Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Here is an EA-6B that I finished up today. This one was built as a breather from my much more intense OV-10D+ build. I used the Monogram kit with BB and Cutting-edge "helper" kits. Decals are all custom - I built this plane to match the one in the ARC Walkaround section (EA-6B Parts 1,2 and 3). It is not my greatest effort and certainly not a show model, but it was pretty fun to build and I needed the satisfaction of getting something completed. I hope you like it. Timmy!

Karl Sander Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Looks good to me... better in some areas than the one I've been working on since September! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Yeah, for a quickie, slap together build, that is superb! One of my favourite jets, the Intruder/Prowler. Which kit is that one? Revell? <_< <_< J.C. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Revell? <_< <_< J.C. Thanks! Well it wasn't exactly slap together, but I let a lot of details slide. No work on the landing gear or wheel wells for example. It is the Revel kit.

Frank Steffens Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 (edited) Beautiful job, and don't kid yourself, this one is show worthy! <_< Edited July 16, 2006 by Frank Steffens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie Cheslo Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 No, I can clearly see that it is not truly "slap-together". But you did add quite a bit of detail, to the point of adding intake covers. Are they scratchbuilt? Or aftermarket? I have the Revell Intruder in my stash, and am looking forward to starting it this summer. I hope I do as well a job on mine as you did on yours! <_< J.C.

The intake covers were scratch-built. They are a piece of sheet plastic with wrinkled aluminum kitchen foil supperglued on top. The were not very hard to make (maybe I just had a lucky moment ). Good luck on your build - be sure to post some pics! Timmy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy07 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Just a slap together??? wow thats better than what I would term a 'long term project' Haha. Great build, looking foreward to seeing more progress on your OV-10d+, it's very inspiring!!! Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Wow! This is no slap together kit! Looks fantastic! I love the way you blended the windscreen to the fuselage too..Looks just right! Outstanding Pig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timmy! Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Wow!This is no slap together kit! Looks fantastic! I love the way you blended the windscreen to the fuselage too..Looks just right! Outstanding Pig Thanks Pig and the everybody else for the vote of confidence! I did this windscreen as I do all of the jets I build. For me the windscreen is part of the construction process. The windsreen is polished on the inside and dipped in future. It's then superglued to the airframe. Then the gap is sanded and smoothed as any other part. Of course the clear part is scratched in the process, but I polish it out and a layer of future is applied to the outside. Timmy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Collin Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Nice build. You don't see the Prowler built up much, and you did a fine job. Cheers ATIS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Timmy! Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hey Erin!Funny, I forgot about this one! Just went back to look again, and it is an amazing build- Warm regards, Pig Pig, Thanks for bringing this one up from the depths - make it look like I actually been building something, instead of the interminable planning phase I'm in. ATIS and F-16rhs Kind words are always appreciated. I'll do my best to contribute more in the future. Timmy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volzj Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 For a "fun" build that's still some work with all of that rescribing! Real nice job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FIGHTS ON Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Very nice finish, I've got the Airfix one on the go, but gave up after to much frustration. Although I'm tempted to pick up the challenge again having seen your prowler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
