Steve, thank you sir. Small update on the Intruder as all the panel lines are drawn and I have airbrushed on the Tamiya Smoke to shade the panel lines. Next will be the gloss coat prep for decals and washes.

Steve, Si----thanks guys. I got the decals on the A-6 and great stuff from the folks at Fightertown Decals. There were two jets from VA-165 that carried the tan/brown scheme and the markings were minimal. Just the squadron flash, MODEX numbers and slime lights were carried. No stencils, national markings or carrier markings were on these jets. I also applied the two pieces of the false canopy windscreen decal that I cut up, to the underside of the aircraft. I just have a little paint touch up to do on the false canopy itself since I used a mix of paint and decals to get it to all work around the open gear bay doors. Stay tuned...........
