All, I'm just wondering if one can build an early A-6A Intruder from the 1/72 Italeri / Tamiya kit? I once had the Fujimi 'A' kit, however I found the surface detail almost too faint and would probably not hold out to a decent panel line wash once I got to that stage. I see that Italeri are re-releasing their A-6E kit later this year and was just thinking if this could be back-dated to an early Vietnam era A-6A model. If so, I would appreciate any advice on what needs to be done in order to get the main details right - I'm not too pedantic about minor cockpit detail etc. One other question, does anyone know if the A-6E's were actually used operationally during the Vietnam War? I believe the 'E' entered service in 1971, so may have been used during the Linebacker raids of '72. Anyway, any tips and advice to help me consider this possible future project would be truly appreciated. Cheers and thanks.. Dave.
