Sorry I can’t find the website anymore that had pics of the real thing https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234998070-intruder-with-easter-eggs/ Here's the photo referenced: Not the only one of course with the painted eggs but that's probably the most posted pic for 242. VMA(AW)-225 also had special Easter painted Mk.83 examples in at least 1971. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spook498 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 So, I am still debating on a loadout and a squadron. I ordered a 704 refuel pod, and am thinking I may try a tanker package. On the otherhand, I am also leaning towards the mines. I am ultimately going to build several, and I already have the A-6E (non tram) and will also have a Tram build, this one I am working on now as an A model. I may do one more after that. I also have two EA-6As and a B and will build one more of each. Pretty ambitious considering I am not an Intruder guy. But once I build what I have, I wont be building anymore. Thanks for the suggestions! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spook498 Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 It looks like the A-6A can carry the Shrike, so that is what I am leaning towards, 4x and a CL MER with Mk.82s on it. There is a very narrow window early in the war, prior to the STARM coming out that I can model. (and doesnt require a B model) Anybody have anything additional they can add? Thanks!

Finn Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Here are a couple more, fuel tanks and Mk-82 Snakeyes under the wings and either 2 or 3 Mk-83s on the c/l : Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 And if you something a little different, Mk-36 Destructors (Mk-82 configured as mines) along with the D-704 refueling pod: Mk-36 Destructors: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
