professordeath Manstein's revenge Save yourself the trouble and just get the Italeri 72nd version---comes w/ wing-fold option...even Vance can build it... I just may make it my first '72nd. It's a pretty big bird. You should take it easy on Vance a couple of days. You did cost him some coin with your swordfish thread.

With regards to the Kinetic kit, it is the only Kinetic I have tried. It seemed to me they took their EA-6B kit that got some decent reviews and threw in just enough A-6 parts to make a full Intruder kit. In fact 2 of the sprues in the Intruder kit are from the Prowler offering. I think it was a rush to market. I can't say yay or nay to their other kits. I still have the Prowler in the stash so time will tell if Kinetic just made a bad kit or if they're a bad manufacturer.

Yeah, it's just the opposite of the Monogram where their Prowler has some of the same parts as their Intruder (Wings, armor, etc.) The things that bugged me on the Kinetic kit were the absolute lack of location marks for the cockpit, I had no where to glue the pit and it kind of floated, poor fit of the wing roots, lousy fit of the nose gear bay (I needed several strips of styrene to make flush and the TRAM pod was just awful. There's pics of the TRAM a few pages back. That said, it was nothing insurmountable. The overall fit of the fuselage halves was good, the nose fit fine and the detail is nice. It's just not $20 better than the Monogram kit.
Man, if only somebody would demand to know what I've been up to, I could be motivated to finish up my Intruder this weekend. (Although I'm still struggling with how to mount the sub-munition pods...)
OMG---the whining in my GB's is almost unbearable...
Why don't you ask Fermis how he mounted his? He finished the exact same kit you are attempting to cross the finish-line with--AND I don't remember him crying about sub-munition mounts!!!

Yes, I'll have to check his WIP pictures, unlikely to hear from him directly though as he is probably living in his deer blind right now!
You could be right, sounds like Salmon just beach themselves at his feet when they see him approaching the rivers as well.
Alright - this is what I was looking for - good photos of that multi-unit hardpoint...
Also like the tail art on this one:
I'd love to see a finished model...
lol, you and me both. Kicked the family out until 830 this evening - just me and the cats agents until then. Hoping for a finish tonight, but there will certainly be progress.

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)
