This set is dedicated to demanding modelers who wish to enrich the EA-6B cockpit with authentic, subtle elements that are difficult to achieve with traditional decals or plastic sets.

Historical Background

The EA-6B Prowler is a four-seat American electronic warfare aircraft used by the armed forces of the United States—mainly the US Navy and US Marine Corps—from the late 1960s until 2019. It provided invaluable support during conflicts such as the Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm, the Iraq War, and numerous NATO missions, being responsible for jamming and eliminating enemy radars. The use of specialized seatbelts is crucial due to the extreme working conditions faced by the crew during combat flights, exposure to high G-forces, and potential emergency ejection scenarios.
