Release date: January 2011





Here's a model which I find doesn't get as much attention as it should. Its a great model and a great scheme. Part of the 'Desert Storm' set of releases, this is the A-6E Intruder. It comes with the standard loadout of 12 bombs and 2 shrikes. Though I would prefer 12 bombs and 2 ext fuel tanks or 24 bombs. Though for a realistic loadout, I removed the 2 inner bombs closest to the wheel doors with a knife. So essentially its a 10 bomb 2 shrike loadout. Nevertheless, I like the scheme as we seldom get modern low viz schemes.
