Hello all. The pics are finally here. Unfortunately, the pics don't really do the model justice as my photography skills are extremely weak. The pics are in no special order, but I hope you enjoy.

That is outstanding paint!  I'm doing a 1/32 now and your "little guy" puts mine to shame!!!

It's just amazing. Your Intruder is a delight to see at all zoom levels. There are details inside other details, like those matryoshka dolls, and an impressive overall look.

 

The building process was quite a ride, full of knowledge and inspiration; thanks for sharing your work, and congratulations on this masterpiece.

 

Regards

Just wow!  The fine panel line and rivets work and the incredible cockpit just blow me away. Just amazing to look it ! 😮

I echo everything said above, probably the BEST A-6E ever that I've seen !! You should be very proud of your work Elmo, she's a stunner.

Stunning build. Superbly done.

[Dafixer]

This is the ultimate realization of an aircraft in scale.

Just to echo the above comments, an absolutely stunning build!

Thanks for all of the positive comments; they really mean a lot to me. Throughout the years, countless people helped me along the way in one way or another to complete this build and I wholeheartedly appreciate that. Many of these people are ARC members, and even though it would be impossible for me to thank each one individually, I do want to give a special thanks to RichB63 and A-10 Loader. Rich has been more than accommodating with providing me reference material during critical stages of the build, and A-10 Loader gifted me the windscreen used on this build. Thanks to both of you, as well as everyone else who has stood by over the years giving me the positive feedback I needed to keep me motivated enough to complete this build.

 

Cheers,

Elmo

Awesome weathering, and a lovely plane. Congrats on the model!

[Mr.Happy]

Such a beautiful job.
 

It truly looks amazing.

 

It still blows me away that it’s a Monogram/Revell A-6E. 
 

Top notch all the way Wardog!

Man, I can't imagine the time and effort you put into this.

 

The panel line and rivet work itself give it a Tamiya/Hasegawa level detail.

 

Awesome detail work, esp the cockpit.

[Joerg]

Clearly one of the best aircraft models I have seen to date. Hats off to you!
Your patience and strive for perfection in getting this work of art done is what amazes me most.

 

And I‘m still not fully convinced that it can’t actually start up the engine if the right switches are pushed. 😉

“See you on deck” is what Tom Cruise said in Top Gun.

you nailed it because it looks like you’re watching a real Tram on the flight deck. Absolutely stunning, and a pleasure to look at.

WOW!  I love everything about your Intruder...the build, the paint, the weathering.  Absolutely spectacular build!  I have a 1/48 Intruder in my stash, but I can't imagine it turing out anywhere near as fabulous as yours.  Fantastic job in every way!!!

[Dutch]

Wow!
