Dr Savage Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Its been a while since i finished the Tomcat but here is my latest build a Italeri 1/72 Intruder A6-E. I used Mr Hobby paints, Promodellers Dark Wash, and Hi Decals decals. I got the kit from ebay but it didn't have any decals and i could only find the Hi Decals in 1/72 and i have to say they were the worst decals i've ever had the misfortune of using, they were brittle, wouldn't settle even with micro sol and would brake up if you looked at them the wrong way :D , hence why some of them never made it on to the intruder, this is the first time i've used their decals so maybe i had on old dodgy set from Hannants? but i wasn't impressed. Anyway here are the pics, i'm quite happy how it turned out in the end i loved the kit and will get another, just waiting for the Trumpeter 1/32 intruder! Hope you like.

Jack-Swiss Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 That's very nice indeed...very cute little bird!!! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 You have to love the Italeri A-6E kits. Right out of the box you can fold the wings and open up the ladders. Fine work you put into yours. It's looks great despite the problems with the decals you mentioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janman Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm more of a hi-viz man but your Intruder looks very fine! I guess I have to try the Italeri kit one day since the end result looks this good. The Fujimi A-6 is a nice kit but not exactly perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deon Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 That's brilliant; the weathering and panel lines are excellent! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cr7driver Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Nice job! Love the folded wings. To me thats the best way to pose Navy/Marines aircraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
