Hello there!
It's finally here!
The full build of my A6- A Intruder in 1/48 by Hobby Boss.
It took 86 days.
Almost 500 parts installed.
Met lots of new cool people. Tried out lots of new techniques.
Motivated. Desperate. Angry...
There are lots of descriptions for this model and I could write even more about all the thoughts and impressions that came up during the construction.
I have to admit, I am extremely impressed with the result! There are definitely places here and there that could have been done better. But compared to when I started out as a scale modeler, I didn't expect such a result after such a short time.
I would like to thank everyone who supported me during the group build!
Cheers
David

Have never built a model in my life, but I love watching model making channels on YT. So glad I found your channel. You do a fantastic job!

@myplasticprojects 29 дней назад

Wow! I appreciate your comment my friend! I’m glad you like my work! Stay tuned for more 🤘🏼

Very nice build of the intruder ! I worked for Grumman Aerospace Corp. in the US for 17 years building the F-14 Tomcat, A-6 Intruder and EA-6B Prowler aircraft for the US Navy and I'm also a model builder. It was the perfect place to get information on detailing my kit's. All I had to do was just go to work ! One note on adding any electrical wires on aircraft models and that's they are NEVER twisted as I see so many model builders do. All harness wires were only run straight in bundles, no twisting. Keep on building ! Cheers.

@johnbasiglone1219 12 дней назад

That is good info. Thanks. Twisting cables or wire runs would probably cause inductive interference and undue abrasion. Any other tips? I am building the Revell A-6E in Vietnam era livery. I plan on building a HobbyBoss A-6E for my sons father-n-law. He retired as an O-6 and was an A-6E B/N in the 1980s/90s and later a Sqdn Maintenance Officer.

@user-rr1lt1hs5m Месяц назад

i worked on the A6 for 4 years in the marines. The nonskid was not black. it was a dark grey. also on the wing leading edge, it was thick clear tape that was applied and because of sun fade/interaction it turn a mucky yellow color. :)

@myplasticprojects Месяц назад

Very helpful information! Thank you! But it’s a little too late 🙃 hope you like it though 🤘🏼

@johnbasiglone1219 12 дней назад

What was the tape for on the leading edge? Was it to help with ice build-up? I was at El Toro MCAS in the 80s, right when they were bringing in the first F/A-18s. I remember as a 10 year old kid being at El Toro in 1968 when my brother was there after coming back from Vietnam. My little brother and I would sit next to the North side of the runway under a tree and a grassy area watch some of the flight ops. I remember the A-6s, A-4s and F-4s shooting approaches and full stops. To us little kids, we thought the A-6 was ugly with bulbous nose. Later on when I learned their all-weather capability, it became a favorite

@Mishn0 9 дней назад

@@johnbasiglone1219 It keeps the paint from peeling off in the slipstream. Flying through rain without the tape would erode the paint off to bare aluminum and that's not good on a naval aircraft out in the salt air. I was at El Toro at the same time. You can guess where by my icon thingy! I got out just a month after the last F-4s flew off to the bone yard to be converted into target drones.

What a fantastic build, but may I make a suggestion, for those of us that have hearing problems, could lower the background music when you speak as it's hard to understand what you're saying. Well for me anyway it's difficult. But once again what a fantastic build well. Especially love the cockpit.

Reslly nice work bud. My only recommendation would be the music. It was a bit too loud. The calming type you had ¾ of the way through was nice. Just too loud. I had to turn it up to hear you, then turn it back down. The model came out awesome

@myplasticprojects 25 дней назад

Hey Franky! First, thank you that you like my work! Second, it is so annoying that I messed up with the loudness and some of you have problems with that! I apologize! Next time I need to check the volume before I make the video public. I hope you will take a look around for the next build 🤘🏼

One major issue. You made A-6A Version, but ejection seats are from A-6E Version. (GRU-5 vs GRU-7).

@myplasticprojects Месяц назад

Wow, you’re right! So I asking myself why there’s no other option in the box?! Anyway. I didn’t used glue to fix the seats. So I will try to change that 😆 thanks for the suggestion!

@Mishn0 9 дней назад

I was wondering about that, I checked the buno and it was built as an A but converted to an E in '79. The slime lights are E model additions too. It doesn't take away from the quality of the build though.

Just stunning! What a great build, well done. Minor question: Why is the starboard wingtip navigation light shown w/a yellow cover? I worked the flight deck on 3 carriers w/A-6 squadrons & always thought the lights appeared dark blue when unlit. Again, incredible piece of art.

@myplasticprojects 7 дней назад

Thank you very much sir!! To be honest? I don’t know. That’s a decal. And some reference pictures showed this light in yellow too. So maybe it’s up to the aircraft and version? Anyway, thank you for the advice. I will try to figure put which is right :) I’m glad you enjoyed it and for your kind comment 🤘🏼

@OnlyQualityPeople4ME Месяц назад

Awesome build...no doubt......but, the A-6 Intruder and EA-6B Prowler did not fold wings with flaps/slats deployed. It would do severe damage. Unfold the wings or close the flaps/slats. Otherwise, this is a very nice build.

@grahamdriskell6934 Месяц назад

I thought it was interesting that you put so much detail into the cockpit and the electronics bay, but it looks like you built the wing fold mechanism straight out of the box. I have a picture of the wing fold of an Intruder that I took on the deck of the U.S.S Midway last summer, and it is crammed full of pipes and hydraulic lines. It would have really enhanced an otherwise great build if you had detailed them out as well.
