Spunk-Y Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Indeed I would love an A-6E TRAM, maybe it will come later, I will wait (I also need to wait before I got the money and all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EagleDriver Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Man oh man, i think i will never have the time to build all those AC. What are the dimensions of this beast ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMH Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 i'd have like to see a A-6E rather than A-6A....but i'll live with it.. Me too, but I read on another forum that only a few additions (TRAM, scoop, airbrakes, IPs) are needed to make an A into an E, so I'm sure some enterprising resin company will come to our rescue.

A6BSTARM Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 i'd have like to see a A-6E rather than A-6A....but i'll live with it.. Me too, but I read on another forum that only a few additions (TRAM, scoop, airbrakes, IPs) are needed to make an A into an E, so I'm sure some enterprising resin company will come to our rescue. That or if we are really really lucky Trumpter will be including extra sprues to make a KA-6D, A-6B Standard ARM, and possible even a A-6C. Or have them scheduled for a later release.

stusbke Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) guys there arent any great differences between all of those variants exept some pods sticking out somewhere on the fuselage and some antennas here and there. an EA-6 would require a new tail. nothing BB couldnt fix :lol: greetz STB frederick jacobs ps yes mungo i go for a crusader in 1/32 Edited September 10, 2005 by stusbke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volzj Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hoepfully they'll scale it down to 1/48th eventually. There certainly is a lot of pent up demand witht he Revell kit being OOP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 The A-6B PAT/ARM had the antennas internal so basicly all you need is to put Standard ARMs on it. Only 3 PAT/ARMs were modified from A-6As, 155628, 155629 and 155630. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A6BSTARM Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Nope there were 19 conversions of A-6A into B PAT/STARM or A-6B TIAS. The A-6B later on had a mod done called TIAS or Target Identification Acquistion Systems. This included a number of "button" antennas on the nose of the aircraft that were designed to recieve radar information and provide what band the radar operated in along with bearing to the target. This along with a slight change in the way that the B/N's radar scope display target data and weapon selection control boxes. There were 5 known combat losses of B's during Vietnam. The rest were convert after 1975 into E's and the final conversion was done in 1979. In the Squadron/signal publication "A-6 Intruder in Action" they have pictures of what the TIAS mod looks like and to date there is only one aftermarket company called Obscureco Models that had made a mod for the old Fuijmi A-6A "Knight Riders" kit. I have included a JPG that lists all the remaining BuNo's for the B's from 1974. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finn Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 The Warbird Tech A-6 book lists the 3 types of A-6Bs, Mod 0, Mod 1 and PAT/ARM with various DF Antenna, and lack of, configs. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ipms33206 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 The only complaint I have is this is just another $100 plus model I want and may not be able to afford! These prices need to get under control. There are many of us that don't have an extra couple of hundred dollars lying around at any given time. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaced Marine Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Looks like another big box'o Trumpeter goodiness to save for...These guys are making kit procurement come down to single digits for the year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are many of us that don't have an extra couple of hundred dollars lying around at any given time. yeah but when was the last time you spent a hundred dollars for a table fillend with plastic? ;) this beast is huge, huge i tell ya so 100 dollars is a fair price, its over twice the amount of plastic you get for a small f-16 in 1/32 by tamiya so i think its a fair price. just my 0.02 greetz STB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Husker Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 OH MY GOD YES!!!!!! Wow, I've been waiting for this one. Sign me up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
too-cool Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I think I could get one of those... If my tamiya f-16 does not arrive b4 x-mas... Indeed, I m waiting this a a birthday present ( december 2004! ) ... so the A6 will be there before the f-16 lol Otherwise, for those who complain about the price tag... I would say that this is a fair price...Ok, 100$ or € is a lot of money, but if you look at some car models (like the enzo from tamiya), you receive 1/4 of plastic for the same price... but u don't get as much pleasure... Have a nice day guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scotsman Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The price won't I guess be too much of a problem for me I guess, since the move to 32nd , the rate of stas if it takes h build up has dropped waaay off , its difficult to justify 5-6 Tamiya F-4's in storage , when it takes 2-3 months to build one .. so i've got a fair amount of leeway as regrds buying these days ! Back to economics for a moment - ok the A-6 kit will be around $100-110 , (say £70 my side of the pond) but it'll take 2-3 months of construction time , more if your're really going for it , how many 48th scale kits can you build in that time .... I treat each of my 32nd scale projects as a collection of small kits that only get brought together at the end of the build processs that way you don't get bored , and tempted to wander off and start something new - well that's how it works for me ...

richter111 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Just thought I would bring out this old buried thread to show just how long ago we were hoping to see this released. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Dang, I thought they really were going to release it until I saw the dates. Had me going there for a moment. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spike7451 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Intruder's larger than 1/72 are like rocking horse do-do over here & I'm looking forwaed to this! (if it ever happens!) Edited September 10, 2009 by spike7451 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I thought Trumpeter had clearly announced the cancellation of a 1/32 A-6 Intruder of any sort back around 2005 or 2006. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
