P Stoner Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks allot you guys, this kit is really starting to grow on me now that it's getting close( stay on target!!) I mean it's starting to look like an Intruder! You can see the other A-6 kits in the back ground! I've been waiting a long time! Glad you guys like it, got some outside help on the way to hopfully finish this beast! Sure would be col to have a group build up by the time I start the next Intruder!

P Stoner Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 She's looking great Paul!! Looks like you have a fetish for Tamiya Phantoms eh?? Keep the great pics coming It's way more than a fetish! More like a marrage! This kit here will be more of a fetish I'm sure! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Stoner Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well I took a shot at painting this tail and not 100% happy with it, but it's on there and I'll just have to live with it! The letters are just a bit to big I think, but when I look at the b/w photo in the Osprey book it looks fine!!!!!!!! Anywho, numbers are next along with the leading edge of the stab ( which radome tan is not the correct color I believe!)

Youngtiger1 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wow Paul, totally looks awesome. Although, you might be right...the letters on the tail does look small considering the size of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Stoner Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wow Paul, totally looks awesome. Although, you might be right...the letters on the tail does look small considering the size of it. I thought it was to scale when I drafted it up and it's just a hair big, but not enough to sand it off and try again!! Better luck next build! Hopfully the numbers won't make them look even bigger, but that's how it goes when you use spare decals from here and there! Press On!!

TimW Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Inspiring work and very colorful! I love the paintwork. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Stoner Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Finished with the painting for the markings and got some numbers on board! The BuNo. looks ok, but the 00 on top are a bit small! I'll use decals from 5 different sheets to try and pull this off. Still not 100% sur on the color for the leading edge, and the grey on top of the light shows to be the same color as the anti-glare color for the windscreen! Now with some sort of markings it's starting to look like something. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime 100 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The build looks great! I remember seeing the A-6's almost on a daily basis when I lived right outside Norfolk Naval Air Station back in the '60's and '70's. My dad was active duty Navy back then so I (We) went on base all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Stoner Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 More progress today on the speed brakes and exhaust area. Nose and anti-glare done as well. One or two coats of clear and I'll be ready to decal, and can't wait till I get to the wash! Paul Iain and Showtime 100 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Paul The finish is sure looking super smooth. I'm with you and can't wait to she her with all the decals and some washes. Keep 'em coming :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
