Happy Birthday 2006 Tung!!!

 

This is my latest model that have just been finished on 08 Jan 06. This one was built with some extra works to make it more impressive.

First thing I did was replace the ejection seats.  The kit seats are awful, lacking detail, so I took seats from my old Italeri A-6Es as a substitution. Emergency handles seemed to be too large, so I cut them off and used copper wire for better scale.

Pilots figures are from 2 sets of Fujimi kits (also A-6 Intruder) because Hasegawa did not provide figures for this kit.

This bird was painted by Testor Enamel Paint with Light Ghost Gray lower fuselage, Dark Ghost Gray on upper fuselage and Medium Gray around cockpit area and nosecone. Coated with Matt Cote of Humbrol and the last layer was with Gloss Clear Finish of Testor.

Hope you like it.

Happy Modelling.
