oppenheimer Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 hey guys, here are some pictures of my WIP on the Kinetic 1/48 EA-6B Prowler, slowly it is starting to look like a Prowler, still need to add some more weathering on the center fuselage section the nose will remain the same as the real Prowler dont get so dirty on the nose section and after the wings and the vertical stab Kind of like how the walkways are coming along joe and cib2265 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Fascinating airbrush control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Looks really good! I have read horror stories about that kinetic kit. Kudos to you for taking it on, outstanding air brush skills as well, and the weathering and shading makes me jealous! Keep it up! Also are you going to have the wings folded?

Vitali Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Nice work! I read that it's not an easy kit to put together. You've done a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Jorge Some mighty fine weathering. Nice work on the walkways ... they certainly look well worn Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Yes it is a crappy kit, but with patience and dedication you can get a nice prowler, the worst is the fitting of wings to fuselage and the details that had to be done again rivet by rivet and all the panel lines redone Yes i will do it with wings folded to save space on the shelve Jorge andromeda673 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyZeit Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 what colors you using for that effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oppenheimer Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 so i have finished the rest of the top side of the fuselage, and after spending the hole morning deliberating about decal or paint for the Hawk on the tail, i went for the easiest one paint, it dont look that bad, it gives some personality to the prowler dgassie, allthumbs and andromeda673 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Looks really good, and I can't wait to see this thing completed. I know the Hobby Boss and Trumpeter kits for the EA6 and or A6 variants, are a much better build, and go together really nice. I might try your weathering technique on my next jet build. I have no idea when that will be though, as I have devoted myself to armor as of recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyMech06 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nice looking model, I remember this aircraft during my first deployment in 2009 with CAG-8 on the Teddy Roosevelt. Always liked the look of the Prowler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Jorge Thoroughly enjoying following your progress and amazed at your creativity and workmanship as always. I'm finishing up a 48th scale project myself: Tamiya's P-47 Bubble Jug ( in the non LSP forum). Terrific kit and of course a a NMF.
