Republic of Korea National Day 2010

 

This is 1/48 Kinetic EA-6B Prowler finished with the markings of VAQ-142 ‘Grey Wolves’ at Bagram AB. I used a cockpit detail set from Aires and decal sheets from Afterburner decals. Although the detail set was originally for the Revell’s Prowler, with certain degree of sanding, I could fit it into the Kinetic’s easily.

 

Because a ‘Grey wolves’ at Bagram AB is not a carrier-based VAQ, wings of the Prowler are not folded during maintenance.  But the wing-folding mechanism was reproduced very well in this kit, so I decided to show it.

I felt something wild with the name ‘Prowler, Grey wolves’, so I expressed it freely with several worn and faded grey colors different from original ones. After the camouflage was sprayed, I washed the model using dark brownish oil colors and weathered it with brown/dark grey pastels.

 

 

I hope you can enjoy it.

 

Best Regards from Korea,
