tc2324 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 1/48 scale Revell Intruder kit has been sitting in the stash forever, so thought it was time to do something about it. While the A-6 could be fitted with the Sidewinder missile for self defence, I`ve no idea it it ever flew in this configuration but it made the build a little more interesting. VA-85, circa 1986, USS Saratoga. Thanks for looking. 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Very nice build! Very interesting weapons load. 3/8" acrylic rod for the stand? I ask because I bought custom stands for my 1/72 tanker models and that's what I called for when ordering them. Man, are acrylic stands expensive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 That looks great! Fantastic in-light display of a cool plane. (Hey, I've built the same aircraft. I thought the markings looked familiar to me. 🙂 My take on your bird:) Libya Raider A-6E TRAM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s an 8mm rod, I tend to buy the 50 or 60cm length rod which probably saves me a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulfman Thank you Probably one of my very first aviation fiction books I read. Also have the film on CD. In some ways, better than Top Gun in my opinion. 19 hours ago, Gary Brantley said: That looks great! Fantastic in-light display of a cool plane. (Hey, I've built the same aircraft.
