Finally dealt with the awful putty/paint lump on the belly, marking centerline for RAF bomb racks next to go on.

Trumpeter 1/72 A-6 Issues?

RandoMan thanks for sharing this!! Makes plenty of sense. Great reference photos from someone who knows this plane as well as anyone!

Oleg Bogoleifolllowing!
Even if forward part of gear door could be closed, there should not be flat wall between them.
So many mistkes(((

Casey BeckettGreat new kit, a few wee issues - scales out darn near perfectly.
Seen several reviews complaining about fin cap shape - it is darn near spot-on. I worked on A-6s for over ten years, know this airframe intimately.
Couple small things I've caught as I contemplate my build -
- Big complaint from many, but not quite correct - some A-6A WERE IN fact retrofitted with MB GRU-7 seats, so this should not be a huge issue - anyone doesn't believe you, get this book - Intruder: The Operational History of Grumman's A-6 by Mark Morgan
- the 'slime lights' on the wing tips and fuselage above and forward of the speed brakes are wrong for an A-6A. A-6A did have a small formation light on the fuselage.
- Pitot tube is far too thick and too long
- 'v' shaped tabs on rear of radome are far too thick, in real life this very thin steel straps
- A-6A had one anti collision beacon on the nose door, not one one each intake belly as the kit has. So; one, not three as the kit has.
- Cockpit got the B/N lower and to the rear of the pilot pretty well.
-Instrument panel as molded would be a great depiction of a KA-6D tanker for starters, as the B/N had very little in front of him.
-Engine face is way too far forward - real aircraft the fan face was almost below the main wing root leading edge.
- Canopy is crystal clear and I think nailed the slight 'bulge' of each side of the canopy.
- several small vents are wrong for the -A, but correct for an -E or Tram model.
I won't complain about ordnance, they do all look pretty sketchy! (Fuel tanks look ok)
Overall, I am very happy to have a new mold, and will be getting the Tram version too

Casey BeckettF-4s are my second love... SOOOOOO Many great Navy and Marine corps schemes, sure better than the SEA camo or boring greygreygrey USAF birds. Ya got F-4Bs, Ns, Ss, RF 4Bs,
I have a Kinetic 1/48 A-6e, that;s way down the pike though - I'll check out the Hobby Boss mold !

RandoTotally agree. I'm building an SEA plane or two in my future but they're all so similar. I've been eyeballing Navy F-4 schemes, especially like the VF-161 Chargers with the black back and red lightning bolt on the tail. Lately I've been all about my Crusaders, with Sword and CAT4 opening up so many options it's hard to want to do anything else.

Casey BeckettGot mine today -Looks like a BT-67.
Initial assessment , not too bad!
So, what I see - fuselage is stretched. Clear parts are rough,(pits and not clear) - but do install from the outside of the fuselage, so that's a plus. Sprue gates are in some not too good locations, (leading edges, sides of wing/belly center section, a few others will need some careful separation. Detail looks mediocre, but a good start. Instrument panel is flat. Yokes and rudder pedals are awful thick. You do get weighted or unweighted tires, a nice touch. Minimal flash, but it is there. Sink marks are few but large inside the fuselage. Full interior although simple. The tail cone on mine was separated from the spue, it looks to be tough to clean up. Small short part, 4 radii, and leading to a point.
Panel lines - well they certainly are THERE. Far too heavy, have not compared them for accuracy with a proper line drawing of the aircraft.
Decals look great, particularly the Australian and Canadian flags. The prop logos are bit out of register. Carrier film looks to be just the right amount.
Now the big question, which scheme? So many lovely options for this airframe! The 3 in the kit are all good. One BT with is based near me in Smithfield NC, purportedly for "paratroop training" terribly boring scheme on that one, all white with two lime green? or gold? cheat lines - rumor has it it's a government plane used by our three letter agencies. I am leaning toward the "White Desert " scheme of Theia Aviation.
A replacement windscreen is a must, it's just too thick and pitted. Shame there.

Casey BeckettStumbled on this for us A-6 geeks - if you don't have this book, get it.
The Operational History of Grumman's A-6 by Mark and Rick Morgan, published by Schiffer
The subtitle doesn't do it justice because it also covers development, configuration changes, and in-service problems.
Just as an example for the speed brakes complaints from builders -
Due to problems encountered in flight test and Navy evaluation, wingtip-mounted speed brakes were added at BuNo 149940 and the perforated fuselage-mounted speed brakes were deactivated shortly after the first A-6As were delivered to operational squadrons. The fuselage speed brake assembly was deleted entirely in production at BuNo 154170 and replaced with a blank panel. However, earlier A-6s, including those subsequently converted to A-6Es, retained the original perforated structure covering the speed brake well until it had to be replaced for cracking or corrosion. More than 10 were still flying with the original panel in 1991 while deployed for Operation Desert Storm. This is an example of a former A-6A in June 1983.
So, while I rarely saw a a perforated brake panel, they WERE still some in the fleet squadrons until the type was retired -
