Italeri EA-6B Update
Posted by Trebor357 on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 8:07 AM

Well I dont know if this is the norm with Italeri, a couple of missing parts, one defective. Plus you have to do a lot of sanding, I mean a lot.

 

I am missing even more parts. This is it for Italeri for me, $80 down the tubes.

I sent them an email, I am not holding my breath

Italeri quality is all over the place. The company has cast some very nice kits, and they rebox a LOT of other companies kits.

This particular one, according to Scalemates; is a re release of a Kinetic kit from 2011.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

I don't have any experience with Kinetic. They do a lot of USN modern stuff. I did once read a review of the Greyhound, sounded like it was harder to build than the actual thing is to fly!

But the Prowler is a great subject and there haven't been too many kits to choose from in the past. Just keep beating away at it.

Also couple of mistakes in the instruction sheet

Thanks for the reply
