This is my first submission of article to ARC, I'm a modeller from the Republic of Korea.

Here I would like introduce my EA-6B.  The kits & aftermarket sets I used are; 

• 1)Monogram EA-6B, 
• 2)Paragon wingfold set, 
• 3)Blackbox cockpit set, 
• 4)Cuttingedge correction set, 
• 5)Aeromaster decal. (48-528, it contains 4 different type of decal set)

As you can see from another article, the aftermarket sets such as the wingfold & cockpit sets are far more than my expectation, too precise and detailed to depict them enough with my hand.  I strongly recommend you especially use the Paragon wingfold set if you want to pose your plane with the wings folded.  But it’s a real labor to fit with wings in the kit!!!

As to the Aeromaster decal, you have to know that they generally don't contain specific data decals, so I think you'd better purchase another decal sheet if you want your model to be seen as more realistic & detailed with decal work.  But the overall quality of the sheet itself was quite good.

• 1)mechanism under cockpit & hatch-open status (due to the lack of enough reference photos, there are some inaccuracy compared to the real plane, but tried to be seen similar as much as I could) 
• 2)mirrors & some structures like coil connected to a mic(?) inside the canopy, 
• 3)ladder & step door on the nose, and so on.

I have made several airplanes so far, mainly in 1/48 scale, never had hard time like this before.   But as much labor as it required, I also got the same level of satisfaction in the end.

Thank you for looking at my work, and I hope you enjoy making this model, too.
