Does anyone have a color picture of the original Prowler designed by Bob Hunt?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jerry

Built one last year. I'll try to post a pic or two, or are you looking for a color pic of the one on the box? This one was done in all Brodak with candy colors and cleared.....

Nice plane.
What was the total weight and what engine does it have.

This is Carlos Serra's 6 or 7 year old Prowler...I would bet somewhere in the area of 1000 flights. Currently a stock OS FP .40?

Brodak 40 at the time of the picture. It now has an OS 46 la. Heavy,Heavy, Heavy. 47 ounces. Built it for the foam wing experience and Brodak dope finish experiment with candy colors. I don't plan on flying it much anyway as I'm on to SV 22's and such.....

Rob,

Was actually looking for an original picture, or at least the colors that were used.

Mine is coming out heavy too. Used the supplied fuselage because it was very stiff, but it may have to have some lighting holes drilled in it.

I'm not sure that Bob Hunt actually built a Prowler.... I believe that the design was a permutation of the RD-1.

Scott Smith built a couple, white with orange trim and black detailing / lettering.

If Bob did build one, it would be white with metallic bronze (International Harvester color) and red trim!
IIRC, Robby had one after the RD-1.
