A-6A Intruder pylon question


Recommended Posts

So I'm finishing up a 1/32 A-6A Intruder, and one of the decal sheets shows that the bottom of the pylons (not MERs or TERs) should be party a darkish metallic color, only problem is finding reference photos that show the bottom of the pylon WITHOUT stores blocking the view.  Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

The area between the pylon sway braces is open and was usually dirty white. There were various items stuffed up there like electrical connectors that would be hooked up to fuel tanks, MERs, etc. if you can find a pic of the pylon with the side panels flipped up it would help show the hollowed area. Might be during loading a MER or tank, or trouble shooting. Kinked wires shoved up into the pylon were the cause of constant fuel quantity issues.
