About product

A paint mask for the Intruder in 1:72 scale

The item consists of a masking set, not a plastic model. It will help you cover the glazing and other places while spraying, so that the boundaries between shades come out straight and the cockpit frames sharp. In 1:72 scale, where the frames are really thin, this small thing makes the difference between a decent and an outright show result.

The real subject and its service

The Grumman A-6 was a subsonic carrier attack aircraft capable of precise strikes in any weather. The crew consisted of two men sitting side by side, which gave the machine its characteristically wide, bulbous nose. The A-6E version brought a more modern radar and a fire control system. Aircraft of this type saw action over Vietnam and in the later conflicts in the Persian Gulf.

Painting tips

A smaller scale forgives less, so degrease the surface beforehand and lay the shapes with tweezers rather than with your fingers. Lower the air pressure and apply the paint lightly; a heavy deposit could run under the thin edge. Once the mask is off, the edge can be brought out with a heavily thinned dark shade, which makes the division of the cockpit stand out and the whole build look sharper. Always try the shade on a piece of scrap plastic before spraying.

Who the set is for

  • for builders of carrier aircraft of the US Navy
  • for modelers who struggle with thin frames in a smaller scale
  • for those who want to shorten the time spent masking
  • as an addition to the matching model in 1:72 scale

FAQ

It was given a more modern radar and fire control equipment, but the basic shape of the airframe stayed the same.

No, this is only a masking aid. The model is bought as a separate item.

Use tweezers, lower the air pressure and apply the paint really thinly, otherwise it will run under the edge.

The crew sat side by side, which called for a wide cockpit and a markedly bulbous nose.
