Better pics of the A-6

A-6 Decaled

Extremely Lo-vis decals. I have since added the centerline tank and am in the process of fitting bombs. Should be complete next day or two. I have to get some dullcote though as it is too shiny.

A-6 assembled.

Comparative photos of the first attempt and the newer, much nicer, attempt at the A-6. The actual plastic models were exactly the same kit even though they were different companies. Same fit issues as before and there are some flaws in the construction but I'm willing to live with them. The second kit that I bought though came with a photo etched detail set and also Tomcat ejector seats. Not sure if those were what were used in actual A-6s but they look a hell of a lot nicer than the blah kit seats so it's a huge improvement. I also basically scratch built the entire cockpit and canopy actuators behind the cockpit to give it a little more flare. The paint job turned out great and it will soon be clear coated and touched up and ready for decals.

A-6 post airbrush.

Fresh from outside. Colors look a hell of a lot nicer than the last one. There's a horrible seam gap on the upper fuselage so I may have to sand fill re-sand and re-paint. All depends if I get that ambitious or if I just choose to live with it

Works in progress.

Love the way the camo turned out on the A-6. Hate the underbelly and am probably going to have to respray the underneath of it. Interested to see it finally complete.

F-4 is painted as a target drone. Remote piloted to be shot down with test missiles. I thought it would be different with the color scheme being so bright. The orange turned out great and so far it's looking good. It's ready for little touchups and finalization before decaling. Should be done in a few days.
