Hi,
After my first aircraft build i decided to adventure myself in this build, A-6e Intruder, beautiful aircraft. Bought the Kinetic kit, Aires ejection seat, Eduard PE cockpit interior set and the Eduard external pe set. The Aires ejection seat are for the Revell kit but with a little bit of sanding they fit the Kinetic.
Cockpit is finished, weathering will be done in the successive phases.
Any comment is welcome
Thanks

An Update for my Intruder build.
This kit is not easy as expected, be prepared to a lot of filling and sanding.
Make sure to dry fit the cockpit floor with the air intake and fuselage, needs trimming to get all fitted together properly. Instruction are vague. In my kit one of the wing had a little piece missing, had to scratchbuild it.
Apart all the problem i had i think is coming ok.





Decals are on, next will be an oil wash.
Landing gear and small bits will be attached after.

Any comment is welcome

Super cockpit! The airframe is looking 5 X 5, too.

Hi,
Started the weathering on the intruder.
Any comment much appreciated.
Dont forget to put 30-50g of weight in the nose.
