Stumbled on this for us A-6 geeks - if you don't have this book, get it.
The Operational History of Grumman's A-6 by Mark and Rick Morgan, published by Schiffer
The subtitle doesn't do it justice because it also covers development, configuration changes, and in-service problems.
Just as an example for the speed brakes complaints from builders -
Due to problems encountered in flight test and Navy evaluation, wingtip-mounted speed brakes were added at BuNo 149940 and the perforated fuselage-mounted speed brakes were deactivated shortly after the first A-6As were delivered to operational squadrons. The fuselage speed brake assembly was deleted entirely in production at BuNo 154170 and replaced with a blank panel. However, earlier A-6s, including those subsequently converted to A-6Es, retained the original perforated structure covering the speed brake well until it had to be replaced for cracking or corrosion. More than 10 were still flying with the original panel in 1991 while deployed for Operation Desert Storm. This is an example of a former A-6A in June 1983.
So, while I rarely saw a a perforated brake panel, they WERE still some in the fleet squadrons until the type was retired -

Thanks Greg- started with a wood epoxy plug inside the fuselage, Tamiya white putty. Then I finally discovered ,and got a hold of DM's Perfect Plastic Putty, and that did it -along with several sand, fill, sand sessions. It's been fun but a long build - waiting for the Marabu British UBC racks now. - May actually get a camo coat on this weekend. I checked out your your TinTin builds - those are really cool!

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

Got two - look to be excellent int the box, more later. Though I've read the weapons are poorly done, the airframe looks much better than Italeri and the ancient Hasegawa glue bomb.
