Medic's Prowler

Post by Medicman71 »

This is my choice for the GB. It's the old Monogram 1/48 EA-6B Prowler. To see the beginning of what little I've done, see the thread in the "Aircraft Builds". All I've really done is some rescribing. The wings are done and now I've started on the fuselage.

Here's my next problem. The raised area that the Xacto is pointing to is not supposed to be raised. I need to get rid of it.

I use a mill bastard file for the heavy part of that work, and a machinists file for the rest. Them sanding sticks are just for paint.
