Mark4700 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 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 - 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I like it. Engine exhaust on the bottom of the horizontal stabs got my attention. Very convincing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestFan Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Nicely done, love these era Fujimi kits! I've just ordered some decals so that I can build the A-6E that I've had in the stash for 25 years or so! Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Very nice A-6 there bud, I recently finished the same kit but used a different scheme. Good to see another one built. As mentioned by SAT69 - nice touch with the exhaust staining. I don't know about you but I found that trying to attach the ordnance to the MER was a right PITA....!!!

Phil Thanks for the compliment. I hate attaching the ordinance to most models. This was extra frustrating though as there's little in the way of locating pins. It's always a pain getting them lined up looking good and not that they've just been thrown on. I've got a Hasegawa Strike Eagle waiting in the stash. I built this in the 80's in the lizard demo colour scheme and loved it. What's putting me off is the thought of the 22 bombs to be fitted 🤯 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of my least favorite parts of a model build too. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convair Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Very nice model, but I think you forgot to paint the bare resin nose (just kidding 😁). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
