Hasegawa 1/72 EA-6B Prowler VMAQT-1

This Hasegawa 1/72 scale model kit recreates the EA-6B Prowler in US Marine Corps service, with a choice of markings for two aircraft based at MCAS Cherry Point. The finished model measures 287mm long with a width of 223mm and is assembled from 83 parts.

The kit provides decal options for aircraft from Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Training Squadron 1 (VMAQT-1) and Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 4 (VMAQ-4). This gives you a choice between CB05 and RM06 when deciding how to finish the model.

Two US Marine Corps Marking Options

The first decal option represents VMAQT-1 aircraft “CB05” from Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Training Squadron 1. The alternative is VMAQ-4 aircraft “RM06” from Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 4.

RM06 carries distinctive Marine Corps markings on the rudder of its vertical stabiliser, finished in the colours of the American flag. Both aircraft are associated with MCAS Cherry Point, giving the kit a clearly defined US Marine Corps subject rather than a generic EA-6B scheme.

Kit Details

• Number of parts: 83
• Finished model length: 287mm
• Finished model width: 223mm

The EA-6B represented by this kit comes from the period in which its successor, the Growler, was being deployed, while the Prowler remained in active US Marine Corps service. The two decal choices allow the same 1/72 aircraft kit to be completed in either training squadron or operational squadron markings.

VMAQT-1 or VMAQ-4

The VMAQT-1 CB05 option provides the Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Training Squadron 1 scheme, while VMAQ-4 RM06 represents Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 4. The latter stands out with American flag-coloured Marine Corps markings on the vertical stabiliser rudder.

With its 287mm finished length and 223mm width, this Hasegawa kit produces a substantial 1/72 representation of the four-seat EA-6B Prowler, with the supplied markings providing two distinct US Marine Corps finishing choices.
