1/48 Revell Grumman A6E Intruder

by Serge Dompierre 

--------------------

 

This Revell 1/48 scale Grumman A6E Intruder was built OOB and painted with Humbrol paints.  I can't remember  from which manufacturer the decals came from, unfortunately they forgot to print the AC name USS Independence on the decal sheet.

The model is for a Grumman A6-E Intruder of VA-65 aboard AC USS Independence returning after a mission over North Vietnam  and landing on a US Navy land base in South Vietnam for refuelling before returning to it's AC  sailing in the Gulf of Tonkin in 1974.  That's why it's bomb racks and pylons are empty. I hope you like it.
