gb_madcat_sl Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 This was initially built as part of the Grumman Iron Works group build here on ARC but unfortunately I did not complete the build in time for that one. Kit is the new-ish HobbyBoss 1/48 A-6A Intruder built OOB except the decals which were from Fightertown Decals' A-6A/A-6E Colorfull Intruders Pt 1 sheet and Mk 82s and MERs which came from Hasegawa's Weapon Set A. Painted with Gunze Mr Color lacquers and washed with Tamiya enamels. I left it relatively clean as the actual jet was rather new when wearing these markings. In all it was a fun build. I have the new A-6E in the stash and will get to that soon. In the meantime, enjoy the attached photos! Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Mark, Just an outstanding build. Paint and decaling really looks quite good. But your weathering really takes your build to the next level. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

falcon1974 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 That is superbly done and finished beautifully. I put mine back on the shelf after a couple hours of work. This makes me want to get it back out and finish along with their E model as well that is also in the stash. Great job by the way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
