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,
