Hasegawa A6 Intruder 1/72

The Hasegawa A6 Intruder from a tool dating back to 1968.

 

Don't know how old this boxing was but there was very little flash, no fit issues and the decals were fine, if a little reluctant to come away from the backing paper.

 

OOB apart from the cockpit that I scratch built and the compressor facings which are photos lifted from the internet, printed and glued down the intakes.

 

 

 

 

 

The kit cockpit!

 

 

My scratch build.

 

 

The paper engines.

 

 

Some shipmates that are also ancient Hasegawas.

Nicely done, Harry. While it, and it's shipmates, might be ancient Hasegawa kits they still build into spectacular models as you have clearly demonstrated.

Lovely work on the A-6 and the others as well.

Done a bit of digging. She's in a sorry state now 😕

Brings back memories alright. I built one back in the eighties and it was ancient even then. 

 

You've done a  great job on it.
