Starts promising! Nice details. 👍

Harry Eder
Great start! I´ll take a seat 🙂

Daniel Mysak
Nice start👍. Looking forward to your build. I´am curious to see the pros and cons of the kit.

Alec K
What! No rotor blades? 😂. I am in, nice detailing as always 👍

Hajo Lippke
Great, another Ronan-project!

Oleg Bogolei
I didn't dare to cut main weels bays, I just swore loudly at Trumpeter)
And there are some other remakes need to be done to make "A' from this model...

Maciej Bellos
I am in too. Source of inspiration this build will be 😄

Łukasz Gliński
Been waiting for this 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
Oh yes! A combo of Ronan and Intruder: obligatory to follow! 🙂

Ronan
Many thanks , mates 😉
For those who wish to assemble this model, it will be necessary to plan a little surgery on the main landing gear bays.
Other than that, I will say that the kit is better than Italeri or Fujimi but that's just my opinion. The level of detail is much higher than the other two

Ronan
Maybe a little more information about the different versions of A-6 :

AWESOME! 👍

Maciej Bellos
Oh WOW!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Jaw dropping detailing -as usally! All looks so easy and still perfectly clean and we all know how hard this is (especially in 72) - great job!

Ronan
Many thanks,
For the moment, I don't find any difficulty in building this kit.
I only used putty in the air intakes, the fitting is quite good

Skyhiker
Another straight out of the box build I see. 😉

Bas Tonn
Great, can't wait for more pics

Ronan
Many thanks,
The build keeps on quietly 😉

Alec K
Nice progress, the cockpit looks amazing 👍

Ronan
Thanks Alek 😉

Dearest readers,
For those who would like to build this model but are not happy about having to open the gear hatches, you should know that these famous hatches can be closed on the ground. Yesterday, I found a photo which attests to the thing in the book "lock on" by Verlinden. These hatches are closed manually by the ground mechanics during a prolonged stop of the plane, a sort of storage, this avoids FOD. Of course, this is very rare, but nevertheless it is possible. Also, it's up to you 😉

Take a seat

Patrick Hagelstein

Alec K
It's looking excellent 👍

Eric Duval
Joli travail 🙂

Ronan
Merci camarade 😊

Ronan
😉

Skyhiker
These planes always remind me of giant bugs for some reason.

Ronan
I think it looks like a tapdole 😉

Bernd Grün
Nice progress, Ronan! 👌 Looking for the final result.

Ronan
Thanks Bernd, i hope to finish it very soon 😉

Skyhiker
A tadpole I can see. But at least it's not a FROG or you would have your work cut out for you. 😉

Micky
Love the Intruder Ronan. Nice cockpit and build so far!!

Palo M
Beautiful work so far, especially love the paint scheme with tan nose - that's what I'd like to build as well. I found some pictures with the "NE" on tail in the same paint scheme, so hope to avoid aftermarket decals. Just got the same kit, so have to follow this thread 🙂

Is the "Hobbyboss" in the album title a joke or a mistake?

Ronan
Of course , it is a mistake : the correct title should be trumpeter 😉

Ronan
although Hobbyboss and Trumpeter are the same company ...

Ronan
The decals step is done 😉

Guy Rump
Looking great, I know I'm late but following. 👍

Spanjaard
it simply looks magnificent. what a wonderful added detail and paint job.... wow.....

J35J
Great progress, another gem from you!👍🏻

Ronan
Many thanks 😉

Palo M
Fantastic and clean work, verry impressive!

Alec K
It's looking glorious Ronan 👍

Ronan
Many thanks, mates 😉
Trumpeter's decals are very crude, especially the lettering. The roundels are all the same size while in reality the wing roundels are larger than those on the fuselage. If you can, get the KA-6D intruder decals from Italeri which are printed by Cartograf.

Shar Dipree
Looks great so far. 👍

Eric Duval
Salut Ronan, il est magnifique et le résultat va encore une fois être incroyable 🙂

Ronan
Merci Eric,
Je ne sais pas s'il va être incroyable mais il devrait être sympa 👍

Ronan
That's it, I finished it 😉

Spanjaard
fantastic, congratulations

Eric Duval
Ben voilà, il est magnifique 🙂

Patrick Hagelstein
Magnificent! 👌🏼

DerMattes
Fantastic build!

Harry Eder
Great job Ronan! 👍 What would you say, a comparson between the Trumpeter and the old Italeri kit?
