Nice collection! 👍

Miguel Vaquero
Beautiful!! Do you polish the surface to achieve that glossy finish??

David Griffiths
I try to aim for a semi-gloss finish rather than high gloss. I normally use automotive paint and polish it with various grades of Micromesh.

Michael Kohl
Beautiful stuff.

Harald Besold
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 :

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

Joli travail 🙂

Merci camarade 😊

Ronan

Skyhiker
These planes always remind me of giant bugs for some reason.

Ronan
Yes , why not, some people say it looks like a tadpole 😂
