Manstein's revenge

I still love this scheme and want to marry it...

http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs27/f/2008/184/3/6/Grumman_A_6_Intruder_by_bagera3005.png

My kit came today and, boy, am I impressed with this "jewel" of a kit...I also got some Aires resin ejection seats to dress things up a bit...This is one pit that can be seen very well due to the massive canopy that slides open...Also got some Eduard masking for the glass and some AM decals for the above a/c...Unfortunately couldn't find a PE set in stock but the kit parts should be fine w/ a bit of careful painting...

I like the colors on this plane---especially the black tail and light undersides.  My a/c is slightly different in that the moon on the tail is yellow and the a/c number is "500"--which I believe indicates that it belonged to the Squadron Leader...

Nope it was from the Centennial celebration of Naval Aviation. BTW there is a HellDiver in the background of that pic Mike.

I think it would be cool if the Navy scrapped the Gray color scheme all together and went with the old school two tone color scheme all of the time. And I think the Nimitz class carriers would look cool in a splinter camo scheme.

Isnt this the midway anniversary?

Manstein's revenge

 

 DiscoStu:
If anyone is dying to do the camo scheme either desert or green, I have the Fightertown decals in 1/48 that has those markings. I was only going to use the "Puff the Magic Dragon" nose art version on the sheet, I can part with the rest.

 

 

Not me.  But I would be interested in any extra 72nd scale Intruder sheets!!! Any unit, any scheme...

 

Dove deep into my decal stash and, sure enough, there is a set of 1/72 decals.  Looks like the manufacturer is HDL and it has markings for the Desert Storm  scheme, as well as VA-85 "Black Falcons" and VMA(AW)-332 "Polka Dots". Can't say I need them.

Really? Everything ive got refers to VA-65 for the 2 tone green.

For a short time in 1966, A-6s aboard CVA-64 USS Constellation had two-tone green camouflage to test for effectiveness in sorties over Vietnam.

A-6A

Unit: VA-65, US Navy
Serial: 413/13 (BuNo.151819)
