A-6 SEA Experimental Scheme

[tc2324]

I going stick a pin in this one and say it`s done. I had planned to shorten the rod and place a blurred Vietnam base underneath it, but on hindsight, I`ll save that for something else. 

 

I based the scheme on this photo....,

 

 

 

...... showing an A-6A from VA-85 in SEA in July 1965.

 

Now I`ve seen a number of A-6`s in various experimental schemes from the era, but never with this weird USN intermediate blue underside. Now you could argue that the exposure of the photo plays a big part in the shades and you would be absolutely correct. Saying that, I thought it would be fun to just go with the flow and see what happens.

 

This build is certainly not one of my best, but it gave me a bit of much needed experience in practicing/recreating bomb drops as well as making an in-flight A-6 which both real world and what if enthusiasts may appreciate.

Looks great!  I like how you have captured the bomb drop, as well as the unusual scheme

Great looking Intruder .. I really like the Camouflage. If i may add one thing ?

    I really like your display with the bombs dropping but i think they wouldnt have all dropped simultaneously. I think they had a specific order to drop ?  Like i said though it still looks great.

Thanks for the comments chaps.

 

Yep, completely agree with the drop sequence but it was all good practice for my next project.
