Joel_W Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Great build Joel! It's been a pleasure to follow along. So what's next? John, Thanks my friend for sticking with the build to the end. It's been quite a learning experience for me. As for my next build, it's back to my prop days. I had started before the A-6E build the old Special Hobbies 1/48 scale F2A-3 Buffalo, so I thought I'd re-visit it, and try to do an acceptable job on the kit. Then it's the Hobby Boss 1/48 scale N/AW A-10, and then the Academy 1/48 scale P-38J with a lot of AM stuff and a NMF. Well, at least the plan as of now. So how's the house going? Are you back to modeling yet? Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Joel, You did an amazing job. Really did justice to fine aircraft. David, Thank you for your comments. Agreed that that the A-6 Intruder is one fine Navy Jet, and a Grumman plane to boot. It doesn't get much better then that. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 What an awesome Intruder, Joel!!! Agree with the pro photography! Crackerjazz, Thanks so much for your most positive comments, and stopping by throughout the build. And yes, my photography skills have gotten somewhat better as well. I've been trying to find different angles, and views rather then just the traditional set of pictures I always post. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Great work Joel! Nice to see this one wrapped up. Very sharp looking intruder. Makes me want to build another . What's next on your list? Sledge, Thanks. It certainly was a labor of love. A true love/hate relationship at times. I'm actually looking forward to doing a A-6A or the TRAM version late next year. I want to build my N/AW A-10 based on a lot of the work that Chuck put into his A-10 build:"Lipstick on a Pig". Not planning on anything nearly that detailed, but there is a ton I learned from him and his build. My next project involves completely changing gears, and going back to my WW11 Prop days. Being a old guy, I still have a love for them. Paolo's P-38J build has inspired me to break out my Academy 1/48 scale P-38J and see what I can do with it. I've got the Legends cockpit, and some AM goodies including Kit World's War Birds decal sheet for NMF P-38s. It's was the only current sheet available. Looking to push the envelope with some extra detailing and see where I can go. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
