Sweet, let us know how it turns out. I want to build an A6 with wingfold, I just don't think my skills are up to the task yet.

There is only (1) wing fold kit on the market now. It is for the EA-6B and its from Cutting Edge. Thereis no set for the A-6 intruder. And the wings are different for each of these types
of aircraft. Hence thats why they came out with a kit to correct the Monogram EA-6B. The kit
used the wings and fuselage from the A-6E Tram kit and therefor the wing section is incorrectly molded. You also need the wing correction kit offered by Cutting Edge as well.
To fold the wings or not is minor compaired to actually correcting the faults of the moldings in the wing/fuselage area. There is a feature article on this correction and build
that was posted as a feature on HYPERSCALE. It shows all the exstensive things invloved to build an accurate Prowler or Intruder. GOOD LUCK. Hope this helps.

This is from Black Box. It is the entire wing. From the Photos I have seen it looks really great. I will post and give a better description after I receive it.
