Roy Noras Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The Trumpeter EA-18G Growler (kit#03206) is missing all the add-ons antennas and fairings a Growler needs. I know that Steel Beach made an update set years ago. (EA-18G Growler Update Set, Steel Beach 32011 (200x) (scalemates.com)) Is this set still around or are there other similar sets out there?

Breaker Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I've got both sets, the MPV one is good but the print lines are quite harsh and removing them with obliterate some of the fine raised detail that he's put on them. Roy Noras 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Are the intakes that critical? Same for the ECM pods. I thought the Trumpy Growler was considered pretty accurate except for the missing “lumps”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricGs thread on his E/A-18G or F/A-18F covers most of the Trumpeter induced silliness. Zola25 and John1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are currently working on the wingtip pods as well and said they’ll also be doing all the other Growler-specific antennas. iaf-man and Roy Noras 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
