This kit is my first real attempt at an aircraft model, after the horrendous disaster that was my rendition of Airfix's Messerschmitt Bf-109E-3 in 1/72 scale. The kit is not exactly up to modern Tamiya standards but is not bad either. There was quite a bit of flash, particularly on the single cockpit piece, and the fit wasn't perfect in places but the main problem was that one of the wings was stuck at an awkward angle, but I managed to fix this with some pressure and Vallejo putty. I later found out that if you build the aircraft with the landing gear down, the doors stick out and prevent you from attaching drop tanks to the inboard pylons, much to my disappointment. Knowing I would need to paint and attach the cockpit before painting, I began to paint the cockpit, which was lacking in any real detail, so I did my best to replicate some reference images with a paintbrush, though this was difficult with a cockpit as big as a five pence piece. I was then confused as to where the decal for the instrument panel was, as I could not find it on the sheet, so I asked Blanketyblank where he had found his, only to find out it was made from the instruction paper, which I then cut out and stuck down with a bit of Markfit Extra Strong. Once that had been done I sealed up the canopy , masked it, and began priming the rest of the aircraft. When I have finished painting I will probably leave the bombs and drop tanks separate, and I will post the final product here on Britmodeller.-

I built this a while ago, but never got around to photographing the finished kit, so here is it. It's the old Fujimi 1/72 scale A-6A Intruder. It was built straight from the box using the kits original decals. It went together really nicely with very little filler needed. Back in the 80's Fujimi were my favourite kits. I used Vallejo Model Air paints. Hope you like the pictures. And for those that are interested here's the link to the build -
