Afterburner Decals has turned out some impressive decal releases
covering contemporary US subjects and this one is definitely
no exception. This release covers five US Navy Prowlers as
they appeared in theater providing electronic warfare support
in Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF).
This release features two EA-6Bs sporting distinctive and
unusual camouflage as well three Prowlers wearing more conventional
colors. The aircraft presented in this set are:
- EA-6B, BuNo 160437, VAQ-142, NL/520, Bagram AB, Afghanistan, 2006
- EA-6B, BuNo 161120, VAQ-133, NL/530, Bagram AB, Afghanistan, 2007
- EA-6B, BuNo 161243, VAQ-142, NL/522, Bagram AB, Afghanistan, 2007
- EA-6B, BuNo 164402, VAQ-142, NL/530, Bagram AB, Afghanistan, 2007
- EA-6B, BuNo 163400, VAQ-133, NL/533, Bagram AB, Afghanistan, 2007
This decal set provides all of the distinctive markings
for each of the aircraft, and enough national markings and
maintenance stencils for at least two aircraft.


Definitely recommended!
