Every time I tune into this WIP I'm left speechless by the ingenuity and creativity on display here. I can't wait to see what's next but whatever it is will be worth the wait. -Elmo allthumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusual and specialized variants of aircraft have always appealed to me too, especially as modeling subjects. When Revell released its 1:48 A-6E kit in 1988, I went to work right away converting it to an EA-6A until, a year or so later, they announced a retooled Electric Intruder kit would be added to their catalog. The project was shelved, along with all other modeling related pursuits as family and career ambitions took priority. When I finally returned to model aviation in 2014, Trumpeter had just released their big Intruder. So, in a sense, I picked up where I left off all those years ago!

I've use the (somewhat) same technique on a 1/72 RF-101C (still need to finish that...) as some parts were inaccesible with normal tempates. Sometimes I also use a tape rectangle-ish shape (depends on what it should be), but you can't get rounded corners easily that way. I'm still working on my A-6, the cockpit is ready for final varnish (just finished making the throttle yesterday), and now working on the metal gear legs. A real PITA to clean up and fill the pin-marks for sure, but slowly getting there. Hopefully an update on my part soon Jeroen Thanks again Jeroen...eager to see how you tackled the metal LG parts.

As many model enthusiasts here are aware, Wardog is the creative genius behind what has to be the most impressive overhaul of the ancient Revell/Monogram A-6E kit that we’ve ever laid eyes upon. Yes, it’s in that “other” scale, but, that just makes his detail achievements all the more impressive. 23 hours ago, Gerhard said: Wow, all I can muster right now. Gerhard, you are too kind!

After another long hiatus, the plan is to resume work on the Electric Intruder soon. After all, we’re not getting any younger! Hopefully, I’ll have something new to share by the end of this month.

Isar 30/07 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Hi Rich, hoping you're ok, but let me ask you if there are any updates? I'm sure, I'm not the only one waiting desperately for any news.

Starfighter Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 +1 one - I have an Intruder in my stash which is jsut waiting for your conversion set! Isar 30/07 and allthumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Hi friends, Sadly, the big Intruder still hangs over me like an unanswered question. A friend of mine has the patterns for the nose and tail parts and has been making progress of late with mold set up and casting. I’ll be sure to let you know when there’s product available for sale. Meanwhile, I started another project, in another scale, on another website…a triple offense! If you’re interested, you can check it out here . All the best, Rich Edited April 16, 2023 by allthumbs Kagemusha, Starfighter and Isar 30/07 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Wrong scale, but the same level of perfection - brilliant work, Rich! I really hope you'll get back to the EA-6A in the near future nonetheless! allthumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
