Marcel111 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Here's the A-6E I've been working on for the better part of this year. Ended up being one of my most work-intensive project, up there with the Trumpeter Tomcat. I'm generally really pleased with how she looks and man does this bird look different to all the needle-nosed fighters in my display cabinet. Note the correctly-shaped 300 gallon tank... thanks Ben! If you look close you'll notice the rear outboard Mk.20 is on slightly skew. Super irritating but for the life of me I cannot get that sucker off. I used two-component glue to mount the CBU's and MERs and boy is it strong. Anyhow, I'm thinking of building a little diorama with a red-shirt still working on that particular bomb. Onto the Tamiya Tomcat! Marcel A-10LOADER, Martinnfb, Smokey and 40 others 41 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger2614 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Great looking Intruder! How was the build? I have the A-6A and am curious if there are any things to absolutely watch out for? Thanks! - Daniel Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukie99 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 This is a work of art! Well done. Cheers, David Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks every part an operational airframe. As much as we like to have our jets all fairly clean and matted down, the reality of an operational jet especially at sea, is just this! Love seeing models with touch-up paint added Beautiful mate Cheers Anthony Marcel111 and phasephantomphixer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crobinsonh Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I am a big fan of your work and I love the A-6. Great job. Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck540z3 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Another Marcel Masterpiece! As usual, this model is the sum of great technical building, details, painting and of course a beautifully executed weathered and worn look. I would love that model in my display case!
