madcat911 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hi everyone, this is my first post here on BM. I just completed this build. Kit is the new-ish HobbyBoss 1/48 A-6A Intruder built OOB except the decals which were from Fightertown Decals' A-6A/A-6E Colorfull Intruders Pt 1 sheet and Mk 82s and MERs which came from Hasegawa's Weapon Set A. Painted with Gunze Mr Color lacquers and washed with Tamiya enamels. I left it relatively clean as the actual jet was rather new when wearing these markings. In all it was a fun build. I have the new A-6E in the stash and will get to that soon. In the meantime, enjoy the attached photos! Mark 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Mark, NICE ONE !. I originally had no intention to build the A-6 Intruder but recently saw an online build review of the Hobby Boss kit and was very tempted…..I've subsequently bought the A-6E which is now awaiting my attention. For a change, I've been very circumspect with aftermarket products and limited myself to a pair of resin GRU-7 ejection seats and a decal sheet or two. I'm tempted to do one of the USS Ranger post-Desert Storm jets since I saw these close up when the carrier stopped off in Hong Kong during the summer of 1991. You have done a great job with your build and finish, which is real inspiration…Well Done and welcome to BM ! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacificmustang Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 First one I have seen done, very inspiring, especially as I have the kit on the way and the very same decal sheet. The finished model looks far better than I imagined, and I have always loved the Intruder. This was one kit I always wanted Hasegawa to do in their 48 scale USN line. Looks like they have been beaten to the punch Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
