Mate, I now have two! I came across this, for a bargain price, still sealed!
It's currently resting in the vault.

There's gonna be some filler on this kit. Sink holes everywhere.

So, I started this, basically to keep my sanity. It's an old kit, and I won it on eBay, years ago. I love the look of the truck, so let's see what I can do with it?

This isn't the "Walk in the park" kit, that I thought it was, Martin. I've tried the hot water treatment, on the cab, with no effect. So, it's a ceramic tile on the radiator, and weight on the roof. Hopefully, tomorrow will see some better results?

My food dehydrator I use for drying painted items has a variable temp setting. Would anything like that help with the cab? I.e. a constant heat flow around the cab may soften it allowing it be reshaped.

I like that idea, Nigel. I unfortunately, don't own a hairdryer, but I do have a heat gun. I don't particularly want to use it. As I type now, the tile and weight method, is underway. The heating and cooling of the radiator, should assist the process, but you've definitely given me a new train of thought.
Thankyou, my friend. The collective minds of the hive, strike again 👍

Wow, I didn't realise how long it's been!
I've been tinkering on with this, along with many other projects, when time allows. I'll pick up on the pictures tomorrow.

The saga of the cab warpage, didn't get any better. Even after 2 weeks on the radiator and a week outside in the sun, nothing happened. So I painted it and consoled myself, that once the clear parts were added, and the interior, that would stiffen things up and back in shape? Then suddenly, a cheap Peterbilt 352 kit, appeared on eBay. Three days later, it was in my hands. Cab was perfect, so black it went!

Nice work Bozzer. That gloss black is really reflective. Happy that you managed to buy yet another kit 😂

Thanks mate. I'm a bit gutted about the decals, and they took an awful long time, to get anything like they should be.
My advice to anyone thinking about building this kit, is to ditch the decals and use them as templates, for airbrushing. Much quicker, more effective, and no headache.
21 July, 16:22
![](/profiles/img/51040-554-s.png)
Bozzer, you did an excellent job with those decals. They do look good over the black paint.
Any mods or is it box stock?

Late to the party (again). That must be a vintage kit. I have never seen that aero package over the drive axles before.
23 July, 03:53
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
I doubt it'll do much. The cab is just a square block of metal fighting against airflow. So relieving the drag of the fifth wheel is relatively pointless.
But it does look good 👀

Welcome gents.
Nigel, this started out as bog standard, box stock. It was just something to keep me going? Like most of us here, I have other projects going on, so I was just building a cool kit to fill in gaps? Man, I've never fought a kit, so much!
That being said, it does look kinda funky. It's basically AMT's early 70's version, of a show truck. As a spoiler, it's just an ordinary 352 Pete, with a couple of extra sprues.
I've always wanted this kit, and when I got the chance, I snapped it up.
Like the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

I forgot to put this in the ideas so it is starting "in progress".
Made a start with the cockpit and some weight in the nose, hopefully it's enough. 🙂

Fuselage together, undercarriage fitted and aircrew added. 🙂
Welcome Nicolas & Villiers, thanks for your interest. 👍

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

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...
24 May, 13:25
![](/profiles/img/11807-s.jpg)
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

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

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!

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

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 😉

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