1/72 Italeri A-6E Intruder

Here is my 1/72 scale A6 Intruder.  The kit was made straight from the box without any aftermarket items, even the kit decals were used.  I had always wanted to do a US Marine aircraft and after I bought this kit and looked at the decals I was happy to find that the Marine markings were included.  I painted it with model master acryl paints.  Two tone grey was used (FS36320, and FS36375)  the difference in colour is very subtle, and is difficult to see in the pictures.

The model was fun to make and went together with very little problems.  The most difficult part of the model was filling the gap in the radome and sanding it so there was no visible seam.  Hope you enjoy my A6!

cheers
