John B Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Wow! Spectacular result. Just the right amount of weathering and proof that a 3-decade old kit raised panel lines need not be avoided. What weathering technique did you use on the panel lines? Did you rescibe the panel lines? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What weathering technique did you use on the panel lines? Did you rescibe the panel lines? Thanks John, what I do with raised panel lines is; before painting I rub the whole model with wet and dry to reduce them a fair bit. then after painting I just draw them in with a mechanical pencil ( need daylight to find them ), then sort of dry brush along them, heavier in the middle and lighter towards the extremities, with a short narrow brush with whatever colour(s) I choose for the weathering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinpin Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Really fantastic,. Couple of questions.:. Should the word electric really be ECM ? What do you mean when you say you didn't build as a wild weasle ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIGHTS ON Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Oh yes - that is a very good build. I luv the monogram A-6, and have a kinetic one on the shelf of doom (just doesn't look right) - but your EA-6 is on the money. best build seen on here for ages (although I am biased towards intruders !!) Thank you for taking the time to share 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean when you say you didn't build as a wild weasle ? Cheers Twinpin, the `Electric` is something I picked up in books and is used to describe the ECM and Communications variants of mainly US aircraft: ie Electric Spad for EA-1E/F, EA-6A Intruder, RU-1A Otter and so on. The boxing of the kit comes with Shrike missiles for SAM suppression missions but the EA-6A wasn`t used for Wild Weasel/Iron Hand missions in Vietnam, although one was loaded with a Shrike at Da Nang and photographed. After Vietnam I believe that Launching Shrikes occured during training but not operationally. Hope this helps Cheers Russ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for taking the time to share Thanks Fights On, I`ve built the Hobby Boss one and it seems ok but I `ve read the Kinetic on is a bit of a beast to build. Look forward to seeing it if you get to finish it one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I love it when an old post surfaces again, especially one that you may of missed first time around. Stunning build and great work with the hairy stick!! Nice little piece of history as well, good info for a future 1/72 version that I have.

AntPhillips Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 That is well nice, just the right amount of grime without it looking overdone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Builder Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Wohhh that is one good looking kit. Great work on the panel lines, very crisp and superb looking canopy and cockpit. One of the best looking builds I have seen of the intruder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
