Durangokid Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Gotta love that Trumpy Intruder, you really did it justice. Great looking build and fantastic weathering... Bryan MusAlp 1
Phartycr0c Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 beautiful work and great photography, well done. MusAlp 1
Squizzy 78 Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 I've just started my a-6, and I can only hope that it works out nearly as good as yours. The weathering looks awesome, great job! MusAlp 1
thefenders Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 MusAlp, carrier birds can never be too dirty. Yours, is perfect. Also, I like your weapons mix, not something you would see in real life, but it shows what this beast (A-6) could easily carry. Very well done, Sir. MusAlp 1
dennismcc Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Not a jet fan but that looks great and a fast build as well (by my standards !) Cheers Dennis MusAlp 1
MusAlp Posted November 28, 2017 Author Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Nifty mud mover. Vietnam era? Here is a background story for the plane: â€On the night of 16 March 1968 a division of 'Panthers' was launched to conduct a low-level strike on the railway marshalling yards north of Hanoi at Khe Nu. One of the Intruders (NG 510 BuNo 152940), flown by Lt Cdrs Ed Shuman and Dale Doss, was hit by AAA while at high speed when only some 200 ft above the ground. They both ejected and were soon made PoWs. †Source: https://archive.org/stream/A6IntruderUnitsOfTheVietnamWarOspreyCombatAircraft93/A-6+Intruder+Units+of+the+Vietnam+War+%28Osprey+Combat+Aircraft+93%29_djvu.txt https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=158677 Edited November 28, 2017 by MusAlp Bill Cross and sandokan 2
