Print Scale 72-073 Decal EA-6B Prowler Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-073 Waterslide Decals are intended for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Grumman EA-6B Prowler. This decal set provides researched markings for United States Navy carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft operated during the late Cold War and post–Cold War period.

The EA-6B Prowler was developed from the A-6 Intruder airframe and served as the primary tactical electronic warfare platform of the US Navy and Marine Corps for several decades. Aircraft of this type carried squadron-specific tail codes, modex numbers, and individual names that varied between air wings and deployment periods.

For modelers, this decal set allows accurate reproduction of operational EA-6B aircraft by supplying unit markings, BuNos, modex numbers, and personal inscriptions that are difficult to achieve through painting alone. The decals are suitable for 1:72 scale EA-6B Prowler plastic model kits from various manufacturers and are recommended for experienced builders due to the density of markings and stencil detail typical of modern naval aircraft.
