Eastern Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I think this is the best 1/48 scale Intruder ever. Very realistic! Looks like a real thing. Gold in the hands of the real Master. Two thumbs up! Alexander Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello MRF, I've yet to fully do research into what errors are common to the Hasegawa A-4. As in most cases, when considering a correction, you have to weigh risk vs reward to determine if the extra work is worth it. What I have noticed is that the horizontal stabilizer trailing edges are quite thick; however, that would be an easy fix. E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wardog Posted October 2 Author Share Posted October 2 Thanks all for the nice comments. For those of you interested, the A-6 is finally finished. I'll post some pics as soon as I have the time to do so. E. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wardog Posted October 5 Author Share Posted October 5 Hello, markiii, Yes, I plan on being there. I'm only about 20-min away from the show location so obviously as local as it gets. Thanks, E Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My goal is to have it finished in time to enter one of the bigger local shows in Southern California (Orangecon) during October. As far as the Nats goes, I'm not a fan of flying with models in tote so I may have to wait until it's back on the west coast so I can drive there. Hopefully within the next few months I can post some completed pics, and then, on to the next project. Cheers, Elmo This should win the Best of All Time award! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

striker8241 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 What can I say that hasn't already been said? I'll tell you this - it's a pleasure to the eye to just sit and look at it. Wonderful job! Russ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
utley Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 I bet I could break out some dial calipers and micrometers and itll come up accurate to 1/100"...those wing folds look like they line up with each other perfectly. I REALLY hope you have all of that detail in full display! Does anything come off? Can you swap pylons with different weapon loadouts? I am glad I was finally able to see this finished, I wish I was this talented. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Of all the Orangecons to miss…🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️. looks amazing and can’t wait to see the final pictures. I’ve gotta see this thing in person!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wardog Posted November 5 Author Share Posted November 5 (edited) Hello all, Thanks again for the generous feedback. The road to completing this kit was long and full of ups and downs. More than anything, I was surprised how deceiving this kit is; it took way more time and effort to correct its deficiencies as well incorporating all the extra detailing I had planned. I'm so glad this build is complete as it took every ounce of modeling-energy I had. That said, I'll be adding some pics in the Display section later today. Since I'm no photographer, I'll apologize now for the very basic pictures I'll be sharing. Thanks again to all those that have maintained interest in my build over all the years.
