A-6A Intruder

Scale:
1:48
Status:
Cancelled
Started:
March 30, 2021
Time spent:
50

I was inspired to build this aircraft while reading "Angles of Attack" by Peter Hunt. Even though he flew the last iteration of the aircraft during Desert Storm (the A-6E I believe), I still felt the A-6A was a good choice.

This will be my first attempt at using photoetched parts. I ordered the BigEd kit from Eduard which includes cockpit, exterior, and remove for flight photoetch parts.

This will also be my first serious weathering attempt.
