Hasagawa for the EA-6B

I have the 1/72 Hasegawa EA-6B kit working right now. To resolve the cockpit issue I purchased the Eduard photo-etched detail set (Amazing detail and accuracy and a tone of parts, but bad fits in some spots) and two sets of Verlinden GRU-7 ejection seats. The seat are a little too wide and I had to sand the sides down to get them to fit, but I think those two purchases and a little scratch work will make the cockpit comparable to Hasegawas later kits, if not better!

Now.... if someone would just release a near-accurate one in 48th with nice details. And an A-6 would be nice too.

Hear that Hasegawa?

Thats what i thought.. Its a good fit though...

Hiya John,

That Prowler is a bittersweet kit. It's one of the first Hasegawa kits to have had engraved lines, but it's still old enough to have crap for the cockpit. As a Ukrainian friend of mine would say, "Kit is wery nice. Bot, cockpit... cockpit is piece of s***." He's a riot sometimes...

Anyhoo, I'm not really into little scale but I don't recall ever having seen a cockpit set for the Prowler in 72nd. You may be SOL, but perhaps someone else knows of something that's out there. My instinct says nada, though.
