    Northrop Grumman Navy Marine EA-6 EA-6B Prowler Radar Jet Wood Wooden Model New
    This handcrafted mahogany wood model is an extremely beautiful replica of a Navy / Marine Prowler
    complete with display stand.
    This is not some cheap wood toy, each model takes an average of 18 hrs to complete and is coated with 3 coats of polyurethane for a super high gloss finish. You will not find a better more detailed model than this.
    The EA-6A "  Electric Intruder"   was developed for the United States Marine Corp
    in the 1960s to replace the EF-10B Skyknight
    . It was a direct conversion of the standard two-seat A-6 Intruder
    airframe fitted with electronic warfare
    (EW) equipment. The EA-6A was used by three USMC squadrons during Vietnam War
    . A total of 27 were built with 15 of those being new builds. Most were retired in the 1970s with the last few retiring in the 1990s. The EA-6A was essentially an interim aircraft.
    The much more advanced and substantially redesigned EA-6B was developed beginning in 1966 as a replacement for EKA-3B Skywarriors for the United States Navy. The forward fuselage was lengthened for a larger four-seat cockpit and the antenna fairing added to the tip of the vertical stabilizer. The Prowler first flew on 25 May 1968 and entered service in July 1971. There prototype EA-6Bs were converted from A-6As and five EA-6Bs were development airframes. A total of 170 EA-6B production aircraft were built through 1991.
    The Prowler is powered by two non-afterburning jet engines and capable of high subsonic speeds. Since EW operations are very demanding, the Prowler is a high-maintenance aircraft and also undergoes more frequent equipment upgrades than any other aircraft in the Navy. Although designed as an electronic escort and command and control platform for strike missions, the EA-6B is also capable of attacking surface targets on its own, especially radar antenna, surface to air missile launchers, and other enemy defenses. In addition, the aircraft is highly capable of conducting electronic intelligence (ELINT) collection.
