Just saw on ARC that the Prowler is coming back this late this year.

This will be a blow to the folks getting $80+ for them on ebay!!   ;D
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Oooh I might actually be able to get one now...sweet...











Now all I need is the money to get one... :banghead:

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

One can't have too many Prowlers. Looking forward to getting my second one. Here's my first. Sorry for the lighting. :banghead:

mmm.....festooned with Whiffable parts, too!  Thanks for the heads up. 
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

Mmmpfff!   ;D     And just yesterday I'd made up my mind that after we move, the one I've had for a decade would hit eBay......... :blink:     LoL.


Quite frankly, it's about time it gets released again.

You're all right it is a superb kit, needs some care and some PSR around the intakes - like the related A-6E - But let's be honest it is a h*ll of a shelf hog unless you fold the wings and that doubles the price.

You could take those parts and make a:

EF/A-18 (whoops, not whif)
EF-14
EF-15
EA-1
EA-10
E-Su32/34
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

There where two different EA-1s os no whiff there :(

1. EA-1F (AD-5Q) - Four-seat electronics countermeasures version, 54 conversions.

2. EA-1E (AD-5W): Three-seat airborne early warning version.

Sorry to be your flaming Lamborgini, but I offer this:

EA-4
EF-16
EF-105D, not the EF-105F (first Weasel variant of the F-105)

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.
