Great new kit, a few wee issues - scales out darn near perfectly.

Seen several reviews complaining about fin cap shape - it is darn near spot-on. I worked on A-6s for over ten years, know this airframe intimately.

Couple small things I've caught as I contemplate my build -

- Big complaint from many, but not quite correct - some A-6A WERE IN fact retrofitted with MB GRU-7 seats, so this should not be a huge issue - anyone doesn't believe you, get this book - Intruder: The Operational History of Grumman's A-6 by Mark Morgan
- the 'slime lights' on the wing tips and fuselage above and forward of the speed brakes are wrong for an A-6A. A-6A did have a small formation light on the fuselage.
- Pitot tube is far too thick and too long
- 'v' shaped tabs on rear of radome are far too thick, in real life this very thin steel straps
- A-6A had one anti collision beacon on the nose door, not one one each intake belly as the kit has. So; one, not three as the kit has.
- Cockpit got the B/N lower and to the rear of the pilot pretty well.
-Instrument panel as molded would be a great depiction of a KA-6D tanker for starters, as the B/N had very little in front of him.
-Engine face is way too far forward - real aircraft the fan face was almost below the main wing root leading edge.
- Canopy is crystal clear and I think nailed the slight 'bulge' of each side of the canopy.
- several small vents are wrong for the -A, but correct for an -E or Tram model.

I won't complain about ordnance, they do all look pretty sketchy! (Fuel tanks look ok)

Overall, I am very happy to have a new mold, and will be getting the Tram version too

The forward main landing gear doors and compartment are missing! Some kit of the year!

One of the kit reviewers on Scalemates was asking whether it might be the kit of the year in 2023. The reviewer obviously didn't do his research. Neither did the individual doing a progressive build of the kit at Brit Modeller. It's too bad that the one glaring fault ruins an otherwise very nice kit. And this after Hobbyboss brought out their A-4s with slats fixed in the closed position. Maybe Airfix or Revell will take up the torch with another new A-6.

I was looking into 1/72 scale A-6s and read some pretty disappointing things overall about this one. Missing parts and cockpit is not very detailed, among other things. Considering how pricey this is for a 1/72 kit, maybe I'll just find a cheaper Italeri or Fujimi A-6 instead.
