This video was so entertaining! The build was spectacular. Your wife's narration was so much fun! I loved how she put her little comments in, made it human. Great work please keep it up.
I love your inspirational modelling techniques, and the special touch of the excellent narrative about this beautyful and amazing plane, congratulations for this awesome and useful video. Greetings for you from Guatemala, The Land of Quetzal Bird, Símbol of Freedom.
Subscribed (and happily so 👍🙂). This is a very nice build and I enjoyed the video as well. Can't wait to see what else you've done and for other builds to come.
Excellent video,build and commentator however, one minor correction, The Skyraiders, also called Sandy - was such a good ground support aircraft, about 3/4 into the Vietnam War the military wanted more built. Unfortunately entering the war the plane was no longer being manufactured The military contacted the manufacture to build more. With the manufacturing shut down scaling up again would double the cost. The request for more was vetoed and we stretched the inventory as far as we could . A-6 was also good ground support with awesome bomb loads, however, the Skyraiders, being propeller aircraft could loiter over active areas for long periods of time. A-6 was also great ELINT, aircraft, based on land and flown by Marines. Super support because they didn't have to wait out on a carrier at Point Luck waiting for launch. Several pilots awarded MOH for rescues and support in Skyraiders/Sandy
It's great to finally see someone did the venerable Revell Intruder justice. Great built. I see you listed the Rockeyes being from Eduard. What about the Snake eyes? Are they outsourced, too?
@@buildinghistorymodels Are they bigger than the ones come with the kit? I always suspect the ones from the kid are Mk 81s (250 lb), not the regular Mk 82s (500 lb) that commnly carried by A-6s.
I used a paragon design wing fold set, which unfortunately are no longer in production. Although sometimes you can still find them on ebay. I believe Wolfpack still makes a set in 48 and 72 scale
Not A-6 But me and My Father Serve U.S.AIR FORCE Vietnam Build Model Aircraft Together When I Was Kid He Tell me Story about Different Aircraft Fixe Place he have Gone to My Father Died February 12,2009 age 69 Special Time for me I wish 🤞 Have Father Back 👨 with me
Well I have to correct you on what the A6-E was really called, a yard dart, this is what it's called in the military, I know I was a jet engine mechanic on A6-E jets.

Oh yeah, synchronicity is a word. I had to look it up because I wasn't sure. That part made me laugh. BRAVO!
Thanks so much!
Nice work

y last outfit before I retired was VA-85 A6E. Loved the bird, sorry to see it go.

The Snakeyes are from Reskit. I forgot to mention that in the video.
@@buildinghistorymodels Are they bigger than the ones come with the kit? I always suspect the ones from the kid are Mk 81s (250 lb), not the regular Mk 82s (500 lb) that commnly carried by A-6s.
Yes they are significantly larger than the kit pieces
Super Nice
Beautiful! Do you have a source for the wing folds kits 1/48 and 1/72?
