1/48 Revell A-6E Intruder

This is the old Revell Intruder, still has 1988 stamped of the bottom. It's OOB except for one resin intake. A kit I built a couple years back came with two port covers and zero starboard. Therefore, I had this one sitting collecting dust.

The best part of this kit is the Fightertown decals which allow me to build a desert storm VA-65 Tiger (cupcake) in the experimental desert scheme. There were a couple airframes from both CVW-8 Intruder squadrons that used these colours. Look for the other one in 1/48 in the future as Fightertowns decals included those decals as well. In fact its one of my favourite sheets ever as you can do a BUNCH of CVW-8 airframes from this sheet. It is still available from Fightertown as 48-57.

In the background of a couple are past builds. The 48 scale model is using the same Fightertown sheet. The little guy is going to the boneyard in the sky.
