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

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.

Tim BullockChiming in here Rando. They didnt omit the nose gear doors. They are parts F4 and F23 - both of which are on the sprue and also in the instructions.

Gordon SørensenWill be watching. I have the Academy P-39Q in my stash I want to do in Free French markings.

Casey BeckettHi Gordon!
I have spent a bit of time comparing the kits - Academy is a fair kit, a bit underscale and the lightest on detail, but will look just fine. Academy has done well with most of their kits, and for much less than the the newer kits.
If you do another P-39, going by Bert Kinzey's P-39 Detail and Scale book, the RS Model is spot on for dimensions. The ARMA kit is very close, a wee bit underscale, but it is the best detailed out of the box. And with ARMA, you get masks, and cool weights designed for the kit. ARMA did some great research!
Trying to figure out the colors for the sand/pink/ whatever color the P-39s were painted in the field during their brief time on Canton Atoll. Seems we modellers have been debating this for many years!
I think my little project will be fun - spent the evening correcting ech kit's panel lines -most for a close to accurate '"Q" model are small eliminations to the wings. The Academy kit is very well done, only needed a few filled in.
Free French will be a cool scheme.
Cheers from North Carolina!
Casey

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