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 :

Sergej I
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 😉

Oliver Zwiener
Take a seat

Patrick Hagelstein
Thanks for the encouragement Ronan! Let's have a look at references then. ☺️👍🏼

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?

Shar Dipree
Great result. 👍

Ronan
Many thanks,mates 👍
@Harry : i would Say that neither is perfect. The Trumpeter one is much detailled but the italeri IS not so Bad . I would say you need a box of each to make a nice intruder. From Italeri you Can get the decals, the wheels, the main Gear doors, the ordonnance...
That's why i bought two New italeri intruders 😂

J35J
Excellent work! Congrats👍🏻

Micky
Masterpiece!!

Oliver Zwiener
Klasse Ding !

Łukasz Gliński
Outstanding, love that hi-vis USN/USMC camo 👍

WAHO LEU
Great Job. I loving it.

Ronan
Many thanks, mates 👍

Michael Kohl
I am starting to like the Intruder and I definitely like your model of it.

Alec K
Outstanding and inspirational build 👍

Ekki
Excellent!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Ronan - real great job 👍 👍

Ronan
Many thanks, mates 😉

Tibor Szilvai
Superb! 👍

Daniel Mysak
Great looking Intruder👍

Thomas Kolb
That looks spectacular! I really like the folded wings! And the painting with that careful weathering is beautifully done. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was 1:48.

Ekki
Nice little chopper!

Oliver
Thanks Ekki! That Kit is really, really terrible! Between building and Paintig i thought about buying the Hobby Boss kit...

gorby
Nice work!
If you go to 'Manage' and the 'Advanced options' you can change the orientation of your photos.

Thomas Kolb
Great little helo! I built the Hobby Boss version some time ago, it's a great little kit. Yours look a bit more challenging, but you ended up with a very attratctive model!

James C
The painting and weathering looks fantastic 👍

Neuling
So it is.

Robin (WhiteGlint)
I agree, camo and weathering look great. 👍

Evan McCallum
Thank you guys!

Florian H.
Da schau ich mal zu

Dave Flitton
Massive! where are you going to put it?

BAT21
Right next to my Mi-22 😉

Ich nehm mir auch mal nen Stuhl.

BAT21
Welcome on board.

Thomas Kolb
Cool! This I just need to follow!

Robert Podkoński
Me too!

BAT21
I'm glad you're part of this project.

Robert Podkoński
I have uploaded a few photos of Polish Mi-6 before and after restoration here:
Once there was a collection | Album by podkon ; and here:
Polish Air Force Museum - Dęblin | Album by podkon. Perhaps you will find them useful.

BAT21

Ekki
Watching.

Michael Kohl
BAT21 builds a chopper? Not without me!

BAT21
Thank you very much for your interest.

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Can't wait to see it finish !

Florian H.
Sehr schön, Gratulation zu diesem Ergebnis 👍

BAT21
Danke Florian.

Bernd Grün
Promising start. 👍🏻 Following with interest!

BAT21
It's nice that the audience seats are filling up.

Alec K
Solid progress 👍

Alexander Grivonev
Habe den Kit seit Jahren im Besitz, traue mich aber nicht ran. Was für ein Monster👍

BAT21
Wer bei der Tu 128 von Trumpeter alle Fehler in Perfektion beseitigt hat, muss sich nicht vor der Mi-6 fürchten.
Etwas Spachtelmasse und Schleifpapier bereitlegen... und schon kann es losgehen 😉

Alexander Grivonev
Ja das war wirklich eine Baustelle das Ding. Aber trotz des Ehrgeizes der Chinesen, dem Modellbauer auch den letzten Nerv zu rauben, sieht mir Amodel so auf den ersten Blick nach mehr Arbeit aus...

Gergő Takács
Wow! Very cool Project! I will take a seat! 🙂

BAT21
Feel welcome mates.

Michael Kohl
Starts to look like a Mil Mi-6? Well, then it's time to charge the teaser to a picture of your model. 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Joining in late, but sure worth it. Clean built on this "filling the gaps" giant. 👍

Treehugger
Q: The tiny "brass" colored tubes for the wiring on the main rotor head, are those bits of cut up syringe tips?

BAT21
For these parts I cut 0.5mm brass tubes from Albion Alloys.

Spanjaard
rotor head is truly impressive

Alec K
I agree, pimped to the hilt 👍

Casey Beckett
Recently discovered Albion Alloys here - lovely stuff!

BAT21
Many thanks guys, much appreciated.

CaptGPF
That rotor work is sick!
…but so is the PE cockpit work at this scale! Watching!

Alec K
Excellent progress 👍

Łukasz Gliński
On the pic #35 it looks professional, not provisional 😉

Florian H.
Sehr schönes farbspiel

BAT21
Many thanks 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Yes it is time 👍 Brilliant shading btw

Michael Kohl
Great finish

Erik
"So what do you think? Time to remove the masks from the windows?"
Yes! 👍 😉

BAT21
Thank you mates.
The self-cut masks on the side windows revealed a catastrophic picture after removal: something sticky remained on the windows... the hoped-for cover was also rather poor, the paint got under the masks at the edges. 🤬

Now I'll make a calming coffee and then try to repair it.

Alec K
Damn, that sucks. I had same experience on several builds, nothing some scraping and reapplication of Future can't fix.

Thomas Kolb
That's unfortunate, but maybe you can remove the tape residue with some IPA alcohol and cotton buds?

Juergen Klinglhuber
Started this one.
The Ju 86 which were seen in 2 different Austrian markings, but at the end was never part of the Airforce. Here the overall silver Ju86 #311 at the airshow in Vienna-Aspern in early 1937.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hello mates and thank you for your interest!

Juergen Klinglhuber
The mention aircraft was sent to the Airshow in Aspern as a "demonstrator" in austrian marking. Austria was interessed in buying 18 Ju86K-7. Due to several reasons Junkers was not prepared for that airshow and on short note removed the markings of an 86K-2 that was already prepared to be sold to Sweden. They put on austrian markings, a service number #311 and flew it over to Austria for just this one day. Flight captain Behrendt did a good job and the aerobatic air-display was a great success. So far so good. Why I am telling this? 86-K2 is a differend engine and cowling. The box is a 86E1/2. Aftermarket conversion products are out there (Kora) .....I had difficulties to locate/buy some.
Therefore: it is Scratchbuilding time again !!! 😎

Guy Rump

Juergen Klinglhuber
Welcome Guy

Alec K
Nice progress. Modelimex is a place to get the Kora parts from, just in case 👍

Łukasz Gliński
There's one set here 😛

Good explanation, Juergen 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx Alec &Lukasz for you very kind support 👍 - appreciated.
But the first cuts are already done - no way back now 😉
(and I have to odmit: usually I like it to test my skills by a DIY task every now and then)

Bernd Grün
An Austrian Ju 86, I'm in! Nice start, Jürgen! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hi Bernd! thx

J35J
Great start! Watching with intrest.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you and welcome J35J.

Stefan Fraundorfer
Ah, a new and very interesting project. Of course I will follow that. Have fun with the Ju 86 Jürgen.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Welcome aboard Stefan!

Juergen Klinglhuber
I have finished the modification on the engine resp. cowling. Some new pic's up-loaded.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Very interesting and extremely promising! We talked about it in Ried, and now I'm delighted to see these ideas being realised in such an impressive way!

Juergen Klinglhuber
🙏 Thx alot Roland, I am happy to receive your appreciation.

Nicolas
I'm joining this interesting build.

Łukasz Gliński
Impressive rework of the engines 👍

Alec K
I agree, looks very good 👍

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Nice progress Jürgen! I´m in to see how this beauty comes together 👍

Cuajete
Fantastic mods, 👌

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you mates for leaving your nice comments.Iam wWorking on the exhaust pipe currently. New picture up-date should be ready after this coming weekend.

Juergen Klinglhuber
All mod's are completted now - after adding the windows of the cockpit I can move it to the paint hangar.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Looks beautiful, clean and masterly done!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hey - thank you Roland for your feedback. That gives motivation of course 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
That's great, that's how it should be, because your construction progress here gives me inspiration 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
Ju86 just left the paint hangar,...

Alec K
The metal finish looks great, has nice variation to it 👍

Thomas Kolb
I agree with Alec, the metal surface looks very realistic in the photos!

Łukasz Gliński
Me 3, I have to see that! Still procrastinating mine 😄
Thomas, are you considering getting rid of the decal with my support perhaps? 😉

Thomas Kolb
Łukasz, I am not going to use the provided decal sheet, so if you want it, just PM me with your address and I can post it.

Thomas Kolb
(And for everybody else with knowledge about the different versions of the Yak-12, yes, I am aware of the differences between the A-version in the kit and the R-version used by the Hungarian People's Army. But since I am not able to scratch build the entire wing and empennage structure, let's just call it artistic license.)

Cuajete
Looking good so far, Thomas 👍
Feel free to take artistic license 😉

Robert Podkoński
Watching for sure!

Alec K
Taking a seat, looks great 👍

Thomas Kolb
Thank you very much, dear gentlemen for your attention and encouraging words!

Nicolas
I'm joining in as well. Great build so far. 👍

Bruce Huxtable
Admiring your skills, and learning from your problem-solving, Thomas. Transforming an A-Model kit adds to the challenges 😉

Thomas Kolb
Thank you Michael, Nicolas & Bruce for your interest and compliments! This kit is actually not quite as bad as some other Amodel kits I have built - the designers have created some pretty nifty solutions here! If anything, it is a bit unforgiving - make one small mistake and you can be sure that it will keep coming back to kick you.

Łukasz Gliński
What a cool visor 👍

José,

Tenho interesse nesse aqui também, junto com o Yak-28 e o X-1.

Thanks everyone! Logan, I'd love to take it to Edmonton for AMPS but that is a double wedding weekend for me.

Ken Kolenovsky
I thought you were already married Dave?! Who are the other 2 lucky women? LOL!

Very good diorama! Is "Haus Hausbrot" a bakery or just the name of the shopkeeper?

gorby
Very impressive dio!
