VAQ-139 EA-6B Prowler 2007

Album image #1

Album image #2
Start of the project where I removed the misshapen "football" and spine fairing, along with the armor plating around the engines and tail sections that do not belong on a Prowler. 
 

Album image #3
Not exactly perfect, but at least I got the bottom to where the parts will finally fit! What a pain in the A$$ removing that center pylon and the armor plating that isn't on the Prowlers!! 
 

Album image #4
The wings where I removed the armor underneath and the areas where the Wolfpack pieces will go.

I usually check my kits pretty good, but since I got this one new I guess I didn't do that good of a job! I already sent an email to Revell.

I don't know if it was my laptop or this site - but after putting in the photo to upload I put in a explanation of what it was and it disappeared! Nearly punched my laptop! I spent about 5 minutes typing it out!!!

Once more! A bit of an update. I have most of the cockpit done, just have to add a few levers and handles. The seats were not terrible and since the cockpit will be buttoned up and tinted I just cleaned up the Monogram seats and removed the molded in seatbelts to replace with PE. The misshapen "football" and Ventral Fin have been removed to replace with the Wolfpack Productions items. I've also removed the incorrect (for a Prowler) armor plating from under the fuselage and tail on the STBD fuselage kit half and put some Tamiya Surface Primer in areas where I went a bit too deep with the razor blade. I'm using Jim Rotramel's guide from Hypescale but I don't have time to fix ALL the inaccuracies!

It would be so bad if I wasn't time-pressed! I'm already a little bit late for the birthday but I would rather do it right than half-a$$ it! I would bet that the Kinetic kit has issues of it's own and I know it is twice the money! 😉

I would hope they didn't make the same mistakes Monogram made! LOL
