72nd Scale A-6 question

Before I buy the kits... will the wings from the Italeri A-6E work with the Hasegawa EA-6B? I want folded wings on the EA-6.

Umm...i have loads of each, but all boxed up in storage so cant get to them now

i thought both had differant wings anyway? at least in a small areas

Short answer: no, if you want to be 10 % accurate. Even though they look similar at first glance, there are a lot of differences in the wings on both aircraft.

Mostly it's the wingfold area that's a bit different between the Prowler and Intruder. At 1/72 it's pretty hard to tell me it really matters and you're better off spending the time making the seats look good and fixing the antennas.

Okay. Wouldn't you know? What I think I'll do is lay both sets of wings side by side and take a long, tough look. Then I'll take my glasses off and look again. That's my litmus test! If I can fix the most glaring differences, then I'll go with it.

We'll see. Now I'm challenged. (Not that I wasn't before.)

Thank you everyone.

No, they are different types of wings. Bill Wesley
