Going Downtown

A lot of things need to be adapted for an actual A-6A. Hobby Boss made an A-6E, but not a good job at that either.
Fitting parts is an issue.
 

XMM intakes  

 

 

Gorgeous looking gear by Yao’s Studio.  

 

Most of the unwanted things are gone. Still have to make the new nav lights on the fuselage iso the slime lights.  

Decided to glue the radome halfs to the fuselage halfs in order to make the fuselage a bit more sturdy especially around the windshield.  

 

 

Old style navigation lights 

ALE-18 opening in front of the speedbrake 

Reworked kit part for early A’s  

In the inside this ridge needs to be reduced for the hypersonic exhausts to fit well 

Strengthening the tail hook compartment  

Strengthening the nose 

Two lights (TRAM version) need to be filled.  

 

Hypersonic models. Each exhaust is build up by 6 parts.
