Hey guys, I'm working on an a-6 for another group build. I was just wondering if you guys know of any good sources for reference photos?

Forgot about this thread....  I just moved into my new digs and got done unpacking my tools and kits.  I don't know if I have the will to get back into the Kinetic A-6 Again.  Really hate that kit.  But I guess I owe it to the GB to finish the bugger off, eh?

Tony!! I completely missed this post!!! You still looking at building this one soon? You've already got a fairly busy bench these days.

I finally got the kit yesterday, apparently it was delivered two doors down, and they were kind enough to leave it on my doorstep.

This is a photo of the base kit that I found on the 'net.

Cheers

Tony

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

Hi Guys,

If I wanted to buy a kit and join in, would that be OK ? When is the finish date ?

Cheers

Shameless thread bump! Wash applied to the gear bays this morning, about to head home with coffee in hand to make the final assembly. :)

That's because I almost always post this stuff at the office or my local coffee shop of choice. Also known as "Vance hates paying for internet access when he can get it for free!" (Hammer taught me that)

ntruder time!!! Undercarriage on, weapons & drop tank mounted...
