About product

The real subject

The Grumman A-6 Intruder was a carrier attack aircraft of the US Navy, built for all-weather strikes. The crew of two sat side by side, which is why the nose is unusually wide and rounded. The A-6A version was the first production variant of the whole family and serves as the baseline form from which the later modifications developed.

What the set contains

This is a photo-etched set of details for a model of this aircraft in 1:72 scale. Photo-etched parts are thin metal elements that replace or complete finely shaped details for which a plastic part is too thick. Which particular elements the set brings and where they go on the model is given in the manufacturer's instructions.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts from the fret with a sharp blade on a hard surface rather than by twisting, and sand the remaining stub down. Make the bends along the marked grooves, best of all in a bending tool or between two blades. Wash and degrease the metal before painting and lay down a primer, otherwise the paint rubs off easily during handling.

  • It is glued with cyanoacrylate, because polystyrene cement does not hold on metal.
  • Carry the small parts with tweezers over a tray, not over a carpet.
  • Apply the glue in a minute amount, as the excess floods the relief.

Who it is for

The set suits a modeler who wants to take the level of detail on a 1:72 model beyond the kit and does not mind the finer work with tweezers and a blade. For a complete beginner it is on the contrary a demanding accessory.

The kit itself, paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The set contains photo-etched parts. The kit, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.

Cyanoacrylate, or two-part epoxy on larger areas. Polystyrene cement does not hold on metal.

The particular kit the set is shaped for is given in the manufacturer's instructions enclosed with it.

A sharp blade, tweezers and a hard surface will do. A bending tool makes the work easier but is not essential.
