Darren Roberts Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 That's great info. I'm working on a resin conversion set for the Mod 0. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziggyfoos Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 That's great info. I'm working on a resin conversion set for the Mod 0. scale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 scale? 1/48 and 1/32. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taylor Durbon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Very helpful. Thanks for that. Got anyone better pics from the tail of the A-6B TIAS Mod 1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tailspin Turtle Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Very helpful. Thanks for that. Got anyone better pics from the tail of the A-6B TIAS Mod 1? Kind of. I'm drafting a Tailhook Topics post on the A-6B. There were four different configurations (and some variations on them) but I'm probably only going to describe the Mod 1 because it is the most obvious externally.

Lcurtis Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 While on the subject of special A6's, is there a 1/48 "C" conversion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) While on the subject of special A6's, is there a 1/48 "C" conversion? Not to my knowledge, unfortunately. Nor in 1/72nd. These may help, though: http://tailspintopics.blogspot.nl/2015/10/grumman-6c-trim.html http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=50352 Cheers, Andre Edited January 26, 2016 by Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lcurtis Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Those a great references Andre, thanks. Doesn't look to difficult to scratch build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tailspin Turtle Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Still a work in progress: http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2016/01/grumman-6b-iron-hand.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Is there an AGM-78 missile in 1/48 or 1/32? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziggyfoos Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Is there an AGM-78 missile in 1/48 or 1/32? Yes, at least one aftermarket in 1/32: http://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=1527 I believe GT also has/will have one? In 1/48 Eduard recently released them as well.

ziggyfoos Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Still a work in progress: http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2016/01/grumman-6b-iron-hand.html Great start. I'd recommend you also list the BuNos of the Mod 0's since you've listed the Mod 1 and PAT/ARN by BuNo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 In 48th you can find the -78 in the Has F-4G and the Has Wep set (also has Shrikes, Mavericks, and HARMs and launchers). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tailspin Turtle Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Great start. I'd recommend you also list the BuNos of the Mod 0's since you've listed the Mod 1 and PAT/ARN by BuNo. Thought about doing that but the BuNos, disposition, etc are all in Rick Morgan's post that I provided a link to (http://rickmorganbooks.com/a-6b-standard-arm.html). Copying it would be a pain and likely introduce errors into the record, like PAT/ARN instead of PAT/ARM (made me look). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tailspin Turtle Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Well, that post set my new record for the most corrections that I had to make in less than 12 hours: http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2016/01/grumman-6b-iron-hand.html And there will probably be a few more to come in the next few days.
