32scalelover Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I am doing the A-6a VA-145 from the Ranger 1972 and the instructions show the leading edge of the wings as "Radome Tan". Is this correct? I see some photos of A-6's and it looks like a yellow color. Anyone know what color is correct? Thanks, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziggyfoos Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The various yellow-ey type color was from later 3M anti-erosion tape, common in mid 70s to mid 80s. I'd imagine the pics you're looking at are in that timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32scalelover Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) This is the aircraft I am modeling. I can't tell if there is any Corogard on the leading edges or not. I am tempted to leave it off. I am still waiting to see if someone will produce a PaveKnife pod in 32nd.

ziggyfoos Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Personally I'm not seeing it on 505. Interestingly though, the pylon on the other A-6 on the extreme left does apparently. Don't see any on the top of its folded wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
