Enrywar67 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Hi Jens....on HB kit should be at right place for an A-6A.....but a good check is a must!! http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2015/09/grumman-6a-vs-6e-intruder.html Edited June 2, 2019 by Enrywar67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Thanks. I read somewhere (on ARC perhaps) that the inner wing fences had to be moved on all HB Intruders, so I did that on my first A-6A. Jens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrywar67 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 The fences in the HB kit are correct for an A type....are wrong for an E type:if you do an A model ok....instead for an E version you'ld move the fences 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Problem is, I already moved them of my two first HB A-6As... Here's the first one: Jens 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
