      Nice model design but molding is not up to what one may expect:
      there is no scissor on the nose UC strut;
      the fit is not very good mostly in the nose and intakes areas.
      the main wheel bays should have been better detailed
      Definitely not a beginner's model

      Very nicely done Intruder. It was an added bonus for you to add some historical references on the A-6 & mentioning of the movie by Stephen Coont’s book. My friend is in the development of R/C model kit of the A-6E with 12-foot w/s. All surface controls including slats, flaps, retracts & more fully operational.. Thank you. Job well done. Gary

  • @charlescrum2563

    Just to add a bit to this, the turret under the nose is called a DRS, or Detection and Ranging Set. When the aircraft is sitting on the deck, unless they were doing maintenance on the system, the turret would have been rolled backward into stow to protect the three lenses on it. So technically, you should only see the lenses when the aircraft is in flight, or as stated, when maintenance is being done, and they are testing the system. Aside from that, this is a spectacular build, and looks just like the A-6E's that I always saw on the various carriers I was attached to!! Great job!

    Just for future knowledge...no Naval aircraft ejection seats were allowed to go with worn paint. The greatest enemy of an aircraft at sea (other than adversaries) was salt water corrosion, and the seats and cockpits were inspected daily and any worn areas were painted to cover them and keep them safe from any salt water effects. All bare, stainless components were lightly greased to aid in anti-corrosion treatments. Also, any worn or dirty parachute and seat belts were replaced to prevent deterioration and to keep the strength of the material. As an AME (Aviation Structural Mechanic, Environmental and Egress Equipment) for 3 1/2 years with VF-102, I dailyed numerous aircraft both on board ship and back at NAS Oceana, VA. No aircraft was allowed to launch until it was done, so there were many late nights in the hangar on shore waiting for other shops to finish so we could do our inspections, and we were the last to daily an aircraft on board before launch. If any work was done in the cockpit after our inspection, we had to re-do our inspection to insure the bird was safe for launch. I've watched many build videos and too often builders would add wear and grime to the seats. I hope this will help in future builds and for any other builders who have watched. The build overall was excellent with this minor error.

    • @IntrudersForever
      @IntrudersForever Před 5 lety +2

      Thank you for your service Jim. I agree with you 100%. When a scale modeler does this it is to highlight raised areas of detail that would be lost to the naked eye. Gives it a "reflection" that sunlight would do on the actual aircraft if it were a full scale bird. Most modelers will dry brush these details yet I really like the technique this modeler did. It's merely to make the details pop out to a viewers eye and not so much to represent worn paint.

But I'm always really impressed with how you have streamlined the process of model building, not only do you start kits but you also finish them!

  • @control_the_pet_population

    I lost my small handful of semi-decent model builds from my adult life in basement flood about 10 years ago and haven't gone back to the hobby yet... But your videos are starting to give me the itch again! (In a perfect storm of bad luck, I had a bunch of stuff, including my few completed builds, just laying on the basement floor while I was doing a bunch of painting / flooring work on the main floor.... and boom... big thunderstorm... drain backup... 16 inches of water in the basement)
    I've been binge watching your videos and I'm loving them. I will be 'that guy' who isn't a huge fan of the heavy accents on all the panel lines... just visually strikes me as a bunch of two inch gaps between all the panels if brought up to scale... but that is an age-old modeling argument that will never reach consensus... Although I do use similar shading methods on control surfaces, I like the effect there, as more prominent clearances exist on the aircraft. But personal preferences aside, this is gorgeous work. Just watching you attach all the fiddly bits started making my fingers feel arthritic! One of those unsung joys of modeling! heh

      @@MaxAfterburner I noticed the Tamiya pre-mixed panel line wash is something that I hadn't seen before and that seems to work well. If you don't mind me asking, as I can't remember which video I saw it in.... but what type of airbrush do you use? I have an ancient siphon feed Paasche that I probably bought 25ish years ago still stashed away somewhere... but that thing was always a bit of a pain in the ass. Do you have a hobby/airbrush specific compressor as well? any recommendations there? Last kits I built I used the trusty and crusty old Craftsman pancake compressor... but would like something I could use in the house without waking up the wife and kids.
      Went poking around my storage room just now and still have a few kits in waiting. Might get back into the swing with an old Monogram raised panel line F-16 that probably came from molds created in the 1970s. That should get me a good amount of putty and sanding practice. :)

    Hi buddy , fantastic work again, you are one of the best wingy thing modeller out there. I'm sorry about Milo , we went through the same last year but with two of ours it's horrible like losing, well it is losing a family member. If I can do anything , anything at all then shout. Stay safe brother

That's exactly how those dirty pigs looked. Took me back to the flight deck of the JFK aircraft carrier (CV67). Ah good times, great aircraft!

    Fantastic "Grime Layer" with the wash layers. I haven't built models in years but did so with my buddies as a teen in the 90s and I could never quite get the grimey ones to come out the way I wanted them. My buddy who went to set school of course made the most beautiful models as well a figures for table top games. Just found this channel and am loving taking a trip down nostalgia lane!

    Great job. I worked on the real thing many years ago with VA 115 on the USS Midway and VA 196 on the USS Constellation. I don't want to be too critical but the only way to mount a mark 81 on the front inside station of the inboard pylon is to remove the forward landing gear door which would give a total bomb complement of 30. The most I ever saw was 28 and the pilot was glad it was a long runway. Thanks for doing this old jet properly.
