About product

Air refueling probe A-6A/E, EA-6A, early, 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail set, not an airplane kit. This set of finely cast resin replaces the fixed air refueling probe, that is the in-flight refueling probe, of the American Grumman A-6 Intruder carrier attack aircraft in the A-6A and A-6E versions and of its electronic variant the EA-6A, in 1:48 scale. The pattern answers to the early version of the probe. The casting brings fine shapes and a faithful tip, which are hard to form from plastic. The set is meant for more advanced modelers with experience of resin.

What the set is for

The in-flight refueling probe projects ahead of the nose and is conspicuous on a model, so its exact shape markedly affects the final impression. The resin replacement is finer than the thicker plastic part out of the box and it captures the tip of the probe more faithfully. Once painted and lightly weathered it looks realistic.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Seat the thin part carefully and take care over the correct angle and its seating on the fuselage

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the A-6A/E and EA-6A aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • For more advanced modelers with experience of resin
  • For lovers of fine detail and a faithful in-flight refueling probe

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, the paints and the glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. This is a resin in-flight refueling probe that will round out a kit you already own. The base model of the airplane has to be bought separately.

It answers to the early version of the probe for the A-6A/E Intruder carrier aircraft and the electronic variant the EA-6A. Choose according to your subject.

It calls for a little experience. The parts are washed free of mold release residue, cut off the casting blocks and glued with super glue. Seat the thin part carefully.
