Trumpeter 1/72 A-6 Issues?
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/5/6/7/1748567-46988-27-720.jpg)
Often seen closed on display aircraft - did Trumpeter model a museum bird? This is the A-6E outside of MCAS Cherry Point in Havelock NC

Left forward main door - this is on an -E model
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/5/6/9/1748569-46988-32-720.jpg)
left forward main door - don't forget those always red edges - I banged my head on them regardless
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/5/7/0/1748570-46988-85-720.jpg)
Display bird, door closed

Display bird, closed door

Not the best shot, but you see a proper load out here, no bomb on the upper forward point MER rack nearest the front main door -

Havelock NC, A-6E display bird properly loaded, but her forward main doors are closed too

Another error I found with the Trumpeter kit - an early A-6A will have this fence further inboard - This wing part is from the A-6A kit, it is identical to the A-6E kit wing

Some minor vent changes needed...

Even if forward part of gear door could be closed, there should not be flat wall between them.

Album info
Why did they leave the forward main doors out? - Wing fence is wrong location too.
