I have it too. Superb kit except the cockpit canopy framing - too thick. It will have to be sanded off and recreated... It's a pitty. The major flaw...

PM sent regarding S-3 intakes Alexandr

Thanks guys for all that nice comments :)/>/> I am glad you like it ;)/>/> Yes, the folded wing are straight OOB. BUT! for this option you need to install slots and flaps in close posion which is VERY VERY VERY time and labour intensive. The kit is engineered in a way closing flaps and slots is quite tedious. But the result is just awesome ;)/> I have found a poor quality video on YouTube one day. There were several VA-36 A-6Es on a carrier deck being ready for a mission back in 1991... They were all loaded with Mk.83s. Some two or three planes carried Mk.20 Rockeyes.

Decals are from Afterburner - Desert Storm Intruders. The kit is Hobbyboss. I've added also Quickboost seats, Eduard Brassin wheels, Aerobonus MERs and DIY coated Mk.83s.

FINALY !!!! It's finished :) Thx for looking :) Alexandr

Will get mine on Friday. I suppose its based on their 1/32 model, which was VERY good. Hope this one is similar.

Amazing paint work ! Rgds Alexandr

I think the reason is very simple. The gun pods and rockets vere done originaly in 1/32 scale for Revell G-6. They probably just sceled those down to 1/48. But the plastic pods are done for this bigger Gustaf which is in 1/46 scale- so they are different ... Souns logic ? ;)

Based on the measurement of the real model here http://ipmsnymburk.com/forum/viewtema.php?ID_tema=38182&page_d=0&idp_d=0&idc_d=1&show_html= Eduard 109 seems to have wingspan 7 mm bigger than it should be in 1/48. It corresponds to about 1/46 scale.. The fuselage seems to have similar problem... S.

Hi, I have some progress done last week. First I've tackled intake trunks. Those are a bit tricky but quite nice after some sanding and a bit of miliput. Next is the cockpit. I've added a few wires to the area behind the cockpit. Also added are a few bits and pieaces to the cockpit tube itself. Based on photos and a video I've decided to add the shield to BN instrument panel. Not sure if it is 100% correct but looks OK for me... ;) Today I've put some paint on and did some very light weathering. Instrument bezels are from Mike Grant's decal sheet. A few parts from

Hi Clif, I did actualy :) But it realy need s just a little bit. Hi David, It is done using Tamiya White Putty. I will do some resin copy and will let know about availability - just in case you will be interested ;) Regards Alexandr

Hi Scott, Thanks a lot for this valuable info. Now I understand my confusion when looking on all the pictures... But I wanted to replace kit's fences anyway as they are quite thick. So I can still put the replacement to original position or relocate them. I quite enjoy such a small changes on my models to be honest. Regarding my choice - yes 536 really looks cool. You've mentioned 533 being heavily used. Do you have by any chance some pictures? Maybe I could change my mind and build her :) Thanks a lot Alexandr

Hi, did some progress during last weekend. First some work on fuselage... [/url] [/url] Then I could not resist to try the mix construction of landing gear [/url] [/url] Also I started to relocate the wing fence [/url] And the last but not least - my first try on USN Mk83 bomb with protective coating. I am still trying... [/url] Rgds Alexandr

Clif, Aires has separate cockpit sets for Revell/Monogram Prowler in the catalog (items 4395 - Early and 4398 - Late). HTH S.

Hi, Just receive this beauty from NewWare. I was waiting for NewWare's Soyuz Launch Vehicle series for quite a while. So now she is on my table ready to be started...:) I really do looking forward for this build. A few quick photos of the kit. Sorry for the low quality, but I do not have the camera on hand. now. Rgds Alexandr

Hi, I am slowly starting this new HobbyBoss A-6E Intruder. It will be finished in VA-36 livery as it was during Desert Storm operations. I will try to build OOB as much as possible. I was told there will be some new resin goodies for this model but Aires still did not finished the cockpit set for A-6A I am not going to wait for A-6E one. I've bought a pair of Quickboost GRU-7 seats to enhance the cockpit. Thea seats looks way better than the kit original but they are not intended for this particular model. So I had to modify them a little. Quickboost seat is a bit wider and also the sea

There was a request regarding TRAM turet in the box. Hera are some close up images of kit parts including TRAM IP. HTH A.

Hi, Intruder has landed on my bench today. The sheer box almost fill up all of my work area ;) More soon on In-progress forum. A.

For airbrushing I would STRONGLY recommend this type of thinner It is much better than the regular thinner and the surface is way smoother. All the rest like ratio and usage with both Mr.Color and aqueous is the same. A.

A fellow modeler is working for a hobby shop here in Czech Rep. and they received a few pieces. So I grabbed one ;) Rgds A.

That's great! Thamks a lot! A.

Thanks Brian, Jakub's pages are great and I've already checked those. But the information over there is too general. I am looking for more specific load out carried by VA-36. Thx again A.

Hi guys, I am going to try turn this into this The model will arrive on Monday so I am currently collecting all necessary accessories and details. And it seems there is at least one information I can't find myself. The question is about the correct real load out for this particular livery used on Desert Storm missions. Anybody please has some info? Thanks a lot Alexandr

Decals are available directly from Hannants so no need to look for anymore. S.
