I finished this Hasegawa Prowler for the IPMS Review Corps this week.  You can take a look at the review at http://web.ipmsusa3.org/content/ea-6b-prowler-vaq-135-black-ravens-2010

Nicely done, Matt!  I'm looking forward to Trumpeter's long-promised 1/32 scale A-6 to be finally released.  Congratulations on the review--they are a lot of work to do correctly and you did a great job on that, too.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I'll bring it to the next meeting.  As Bill mentions, it was a quick build, and there are a couple issues I did not go back to fix, but likely would have if not under a deadline.

Biggest mistake I made was putting one of the wings on "un-square" by a lot, that was a careless error on my part.

Otherwise, it's great to have one actually "done"!

Hey Matt, the model looks great to us! No model is ever perfect to the builder since they know all the decisions that were made during the building. Learn and move on, it's the journey that counts.
