Before I buy the kits... will the wings from the Italeri A-6E work with the
Hasegawa EA-6B?  I want folded wings on the EA-6.

Mostly it's the wingfold area that's a bit different between the Prowler
and Intruder. At 1/72 it's pretty hard to tell me it really matters and
you're better off spending the time making the seats look good and
fixing the antennas.

Short answer: no, if you want to be 10 % accurate. Even though they look
similar at first glance, there are a lot of differences in the wings on both
aircraft.

Cheers,

Okay.  Wouldn't you know?  What I think I'll do is lay both sets of wings
side by side and take a long, tough look.  Then I'll take my glasses off and
look again.  That's my litmus test!  If I can fix the most glaring
differences, then I'll go with it.

We'll see.  Now I'm challenged.  (Not that I wasn't before.)

Thank you everyone.

No, they are different types of wings.
