dswoofie Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm currently modelling the Fujimi 1/72 EA-6A and need some help on the Airbrakes... Did the holes on the Airbrakes on EA/A-6A's go right through the doors? The kit has a number of holes dotted around the door, but are not all the way through? Should I drill out the holes? Later versions like the A-6E don't seem to have these holes on the brake doors... If anyone has any shots of the airbrakes open where you can see this, I'd appreciate it. Can you help! Karl.

Dave Williams Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 The holes go all the way through on the -A models. On the A-6E, the holes were plated over, or replaced by a non-perforated panel, since the fuselage speed brakes are deactivated on later A-6s. The later A-6s used wingtip speed brakes only.
