The Italeri Prowler is the Kinetic kit reboxed with different decals and marking options. If I were you I'd Google some builds and reviews of the kit. I've seen some stellar examples built up, but it has a really bad reputation for being a pain in the rump roast to build. There seem to be some major issues with fit and I've seen a few of them get shelved. I don't want to put you off of a kit you're really interested in, but I do feel I should give you the heads up.

The Hawkeye...I'm not sure. I don't know anything about either kit...it could very well be the same kit too...just did a quick search and couldn't come up with an answer to that just yet.

Jimmydel, 

Thank for give me update about. There are some pro and con about two brands or reboxing thing dues to cheaper price and available.

Yeah, the E-2 is just reboxed Kinetic as well. Italeri has been doing a lot of Kinetic re-branding of late.

You posted it in the right place. Or you can always do it in the wingy thread too if you want to get our wingy guys attention. I know nothing about wingy kits but I am glad guys here have helped!

Andy, Ok...  If I have any question about brand or model related to aircraft, have to be in question under wingy category instead of general question? It much easier and also to get their attention?

I decided to go ahead and get one from Kinetic as for my stash...

Nothing feels better than growing the stash! I love the Prowler, so I hope you decide to put it on your short list of builds. I certainly would enjoy seeing it.
