A-6E TRAM INTRUDER WIP

Christian Ristits
Hello Mates, started yesterday with my "Mega-Project", the A-6E from HB. To add more details I will use the Eduard Interior- and Exterior Sets. A lot of PE...but I want to build the A-6 in Super-detail (open hatches, radra-nose open, folded wings...etc.)!
I am satisfied with the first outcome - the cockpit.

Bart Goesaert
Cockpit looks nice so far....

Stefan Fraundorfer
I wish you all the best for your project and i'm sure we will see at the end a perfect Intruder.

Christian Ristits
Thank you very much Bart and Stefan for your motivating words! I made some progress today as well, the fuselage is put together and some PE-parts are on their place - a lot of fun, although the fitting of the two fuselage parts, specially the front section, is not good.

Christian Bruer
Coun't me in Christian🙂

Marko
Cockpit looks great. 👍

Christian Ristits
Thank you Christian and Marko!
Now the nightmare has begun, the fitting is really bad for a 75 EUR Kit! None of the seeming lines are fitting good, almost the whole fuselage has to be filled with putty! I think Hobby Boss is owing me some putty...😉

Mats Bengtsson
Looking very good so far Christian.

Jose Motta
Cockpit looks good!

Christian Ristits
Thank you Mats and Jose!
Some update from the last days, looks good so far, only the big ugly seem-line on the top of the fuselage makes me not happy.

Vegard Øksenholt
This looks awesome. Very good job so far 🙂 Def watching this build!

Choppa Nutta
really nice work ! 🙂

Holger Kranich
Hi Christian,

wow that really a lot of sanding, HB is owing you even some nerves AND putty! But regardless of the sanding session- your Intruder looks awesome so far! But its really annoying that a 75€ kit needs so much care...

Choppa Nutta
ouch, is that how much that kit is ?
HB should at least provide some free sanding sticks and putty with the kit !!
and maybe chuck in a free scriber too 😄

Vegard Øksenholt
Plus the "Walkway" stencils are spelled "Walkwa".. annoying 😛

Holger Kranich
Thats indeed annoying!

Christian Ristits
Thank you very much for your motivating words my friends! I think the outcome will be nice, but it's not an amk-kit 😉
Vegard, you are correct, the Decals need also to be improved! Cheers, Christian

John Dunbar
Uh, that's looking good! 👍

Michael Hickey
Nice so far.👍

Christian Ristits
Thank you John and Michael, next will be work on the gear and wheels.
