Description: Century Wings 1:72 Wings of Heroes 001648 Grumman A-6E Intruder Diecast Model USN VA-165 Boomers, NG511, USS Constellation, 1990, Experimental Paint SchemeLimited Edition 600 Pieces Worldwide 1:72 Scale Length WidthGrumman A-6E Intruder 9.25" 8.75" In late 1989 the Boomers of VA-165 painted some of their aircraft in temporary browns and greens for Exercise Red Flag at Nellis AFB, Nevada. The paint used was waterbased and could be quickly applied over existing paint and (most importantly) easily removed using normal aircraft wash procedures. Tactical use of the scheme brought positive results during numerous Red flag missions and the aircraft retained their colorful markings for their subsequent cruise aboard the USS Constellation. After returning to their home port of NAS Whidbey Island in April 1990, the paint was finally removed. Grumman A-6E Intruder Designed to meet a US Navy requirement for an all-weather carrier-based attack/strike aircraft, the A-6 Intruder was first flown on April 19th, 1960. The A-6 was equipped with a CRT that allowed for low-level flight in all weather conditions, a characteristic that helped it remain the US Navy and US Marine Corps' principle night and all-weather attack aircraft through the 1990s. With its large, blunt nose and lean tail, the A-6 was given a variety of unflattering nicknames, including "Double Ugly" and the "Drumstick." The A-6 served in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Somalia and Bosnia and was ultimately replaced by the F-14 Tomcat. Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc. Century Wings' 1:72 scale A-6 Intruder series includes the KA-6D tanker variant and the more prolific A-6E ground attack/bomber. The A-6E variants have a hefty load of "general purpose" iron bombs and later more sophisticated ground attack weapons. The tanker is fitted with external fuel tanks under the wings and a retracted fuel transfer probe mounted aft. The large sliding canopy opens to provide a clear view of a fully rendered cockpit interior. The finer points such as turbo fan details inside the engines' intakes and pad-printing on the bottom of the model are just some of the additional highlights of this quality model.
