I’m glad to see someone tackle this Jet, hands down it’s my favorite and it’s little brother the Intruder. Over the years I many and have a huge collection of Prowlers/Intruders in all scales, a large number of decals and aftermarket sets. I also have a large collection of books and reference so if there’s anything you need please feel free to ask.

So what looking over you pics I didn’t notice a decals sheet, are you still deciding on one or you have one picked out…high-viz or low. Looking at your aftermarket set your are in the right direction.

The Jammin Prowlers (VAQ-130) and Gauntlets “Iron Claw” (VAQ-136) are may favorites.





If sounds like a I’m a bit excited…I am. Looking forward to your next progress posting.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

One of my favorites as well. Glad to see someone building this kit online. I have a couple in the stash and that wing fold set is making me drool.

Hey Mark I've been waiting for an update, good to see progress moving forward, looks great. I can help, I have a ton of pics and reference books. What are you after and second what type of frame you doing...early, late or any of the I-CAPS. Let me know.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

BTW: I have two of the new Kinetic Prowlers on the way and will be starting them as soon as they get here. I will be building the as in the two pics I posted above.
