ZAgocs Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone! This build started as a quick OOB build. Finally it became not fully OOB but almost...and it was not quick, anyway - the plane is still unfinished. A little build diary was created from the photos. I hope you will like it.

Pete Wenman Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Looking good How is the Italeri kit ? - it doesn't look to shabby in the photos Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZAgocs Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Looking goodHow is the Italeri kit ? - it doesn't look to shabby in the photos Pete Hi Pete, it's a nice little kit. It is quite detailed (nice IP, wing folds, electronic bay door is a separate part, etc...) and has only minor fit problems here and there. The biggest one is the windshield-fuselage fit. Otherwise it has no problems, an easy build. Cheers, Zoli Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robw_uk Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 wow... I know you are adding detail but that cockpit set loks nice - is that all OOB? I have a Prowler in the stash and fancy an Intruder to go with it - if this is as good as it looks may have to get one (love the OOB wingfold too...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice, detailed instrument panel, seats and tub. I only added some wires and foil. A little fitting problem is there with the IP- it is about a mm too wide to fit where it should go. I cheated a bit and move it closer to the seats. Cheers, Zoli Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Wow, Excellent Intruder ! Love all the plumbing work you scratched together ... Thanks for building an A-6, we haven't seen one in a while in this scale ... :) Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robw_uk Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 great update... like the rebuild of the landing gear doors... I have a few on my Fuji T-1A that I need to clean up so may look at this technique, as well as the air brake which I want to open the holes from the outside and look at the framing on the inside........ look forward to more progress Quote Link to post Share on other sites

singeri Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Zoli - I really like the way the Gunze flat black goes down....I'll have to pick up some of that stuff....IMO, you can never have too much black in you paint stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZAgocs Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone! Thanks for the kind words! Laz, mate, you are kind, but I'm not a master, just a hobbist. A master modeler would finish his Phantom and Hornet before starting an Intruder - and would remove the sink marks in the Intruder cockpit (yuck!)... :D singeri, I like it too. I used enamels for almost ten years and it seems I switch to Gunze Acrylics now. Feels, sprays and brushes much more better... Todays diary update is here...

Janissary Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hi Zoli. It is looking great. Can you explain how you did the canopy masking? Did you cut the tamiya tape while the tape is on the canopy (it seems that way) or did you cut it elsewhere and then attached it to the canopy? I fear cutting the tape while it is on the canopy because any mistake is irreversible. How did you do it so well? Also, did you glue the canopy to the model before or after masking? Thanks!
