The EA-6A 'Wild Weasel' in 1/72

[Pen-Pusher]

Side view: Airbrakes, steps and some underwing stuff to add yet... maybe some wheels too?

Not as much achieved tonight as I'd have liked but at least the wing stores and air brakes are fitted...?

Made some good progress on this EA-6A tonight. Even started the long process of decalling. Wheels painted and fitted and the cockpit dry-run is quite pleasing to the eye! Did a little research on this kit and find Italeri/Revell issued four versions between them... Mmmmm?

It's a curious combination of transitional low-viz markings with not only dark and light grey, but white and black also. Fortunately I was able to verify these in photographs beforehand. Anyway, the result is plain to see (or should that be 'plane'?)

Neat that!

[Pen-Pusher]

Thank you kind Sir.

Although the plan at the moment is to have the cockpit open, I have placed it for effect for this progress photo. A coat of matt covers a multitude of sins; the tinted windscreens are a first (Vallejo transparent blue)
