Title: Whif of the Intruder
Post by: tc2324 on January 11, 2014, 10:37:00 PM
When it comes to whiffing the A-6 Intruder, the obvious choice from what I`ve seen is a Royal Navy version.

So I thought to myself, what if I go further into it`s future? Like the Buccaneer, would the RAF have taken it on once the carriers were scrapped in the mid 70`s?

So here is my well worn RAF Intruder as I think they may of looked.

Grumman A-6K Intruder
ZZ748/C
12 Squadron
Maritime Attack
RAF Lossiemouth
1983

Well done

Very nice.

I'd be tempted to build one without the refueling probe and do it up as a RAF Germany aircraft.

 I'm not a big fan of the Intruder, but this is a really great looking build - and I really like the load-out. That's one ship-killing
 son of a gun, right there.

Unlike the Good Doctor ( ;D ), I am a bit of an Intruder/Prowler fan & this Intruder looks rather spiffy! 8)
