White 2 from Sturmstaffel 1 Pilot Vivroux Gerhard. January 1944 in Salzwedel in Germany The task of the Sturmstaffel 1 was to bring four engined US bombers down. In daylight attacks. The fight should be undertaken before the bomb run of the bombers. Early January the Staffel was equipped with Fw-190 A-6. This A-6 were armed with 4 MG 151 20mm. The fuselage weapon was omitted due to center of gravity. The aircraft had additional armor. Side armor on the fuselage and bullet-proof glass on the canopy sides and front. The pilots were quite successful, but due to the air-superiority of the US air force the losses were high. Most pilots had dead friends or family members to bemoan, as victims of bomb raids of allied bombers. This was the impetus for them. We can say, they all those Sturm-Pilots really had guts. This pilot was an German. Later in the war he joined the IV/ JG 3 and was WIA and died October 25th 1944. The project of Sturmböcke from different units is my counterbalance to the Thunderbolt, Lightning and Mustang series I built before. The kit was an older Eduard kit. More or less straight from the box. Just Quickboost Revi 12C added, and decals from Aeroscale and Eduard. The Eduard kit has a few subjects: Weapon bay hatch open for wing root gun, and open for fuselage gun. All three of them I had to close. The engine seemed too long, the cooling fan too much forward. The canopy tubing in the rear is omitted. Some holes too short, firewall gluing without any orientation by kit parts. Should be a lot better. So have a look: Happy modelling -
Hi all, I was wondering if any of you know if it is possible to build an earlier A-6E from the Hobby Boss A-6E TRAM kit? I've read that the A-6E kit has the bits you need to build the TRAM version but wondered if it worked the other way around as I can get hold of a TRAM kit but want to build a straight forward E as I've got some nice decals from Furball that I would like to use, ideally I would like to do an A but believe there are not the bits in any of the E kits (other than the A/E one obviously) to do this. Many thanks in advance. Craig.

This is the Fujimi A-6E, from the VA-115 ‘Eagles’ boxing. This is a really nice kit and I built it pretty much straight from the box with a few additions such as hoses and piping around the cockpit and undercarriage, plus the external armour plating on the intakes and under the wings. The Rockeyes are Eduard Brassin and are just beautiful pieces of casting – thoroughly recommended! Decals are from the kit, printed by Cartograf.

Hello, it's been a while since I've been able to make a new product announcement, but today's that day I've made a set of full depth resin exhausts and nozzles for the A-6 Intruder family in 1:48, designed in particular for the Hobby Boss kits. I haven't tested them on any other kit, but they may fit or be made to fit the Kinetic or Revell kits as well. Even though buried deep inside, I just couldn't NOT provide a detailed J-52 business end as well, including a small photo etch part for the probes that stick out into the exhaust gas. Pictures: Assembled and painted (I could add more weathering), and then test fitted to a Hobby Boss A-6A which has had the kit parts modified as per the instructions that come with the set: Note that this is an Intruder exhaust only - the nozzles on the EA-6B Prowler are a little different (they have more powerful engines). I'm also currently working on a Mk. GRU5 seat for A-6A's and early A-6E's. Cheers Jeffrey
