The Story

 

It was the Kinetic made EA-6B models with Revell EA-6A opened wings.

The models was straight build from box did not added resin cockpit or photo etch. The bottom fuselage had many heavy putty work but fitting was good, I wanted build opened wings but kinetic design was fold wings, it was not easy to make it opened well, and the parts was very thick, then I desire to change, model shop did not have Revell’s EA-6B only can choose the EA-6A, I cut out the detailed from Kinetic and placed on the EA-6A, to crave all of the panel lines, and extended little bit on the upper wings parts to fit on the EA-6B body! The nozzle can’t fitting well after the wings operation have to fill lot of gaps!

It had a thin enough wings and good look, I give it a heavy weathering painting by airbrush and replaced the Two Bobs decal.
