Minicraft/Hasegawa #1023 A-6E Intruder

Mark Ree
Hi Ed
How's the Intruder going? I have one on the bench ready for painting. How did you find the build?

Ed Hubbart
I've built this kit before, so it is somewhat of a nostalgia build. I think I am doing better than the first time. Only issue so far seems to be getting the canopy together. I really wish Haseagawa would give you a one-piece canopy like some of the others do.

Good luck Ed, built this old FROG kit a couple of times... Never again! I replaced mine with Fujimi kits! 100 times better, The Italeri one is also pretty good, both have much better detail. Hasegawa should retire this one to the scrapheap! and retool.

Dave Flitton
Watching this one. I have a few to finish.

I used Humbrol ClearFix to glue the two halves together then used a nail polishing file to buff the surface. Have a daughter doing nail tech which helps with the supplies.

Ed, You have done a nice job on this older kit. Mine is still in the box
