EA6- prowler/A6 Intruder version
-
Ahah, Manos.
I have such a massive 1/32 model on my Bench at this time.
I can tell you that you first need to decide which version you model because there are some sublte yet very visible differences between A-6A and A-6E and KA-6D
wing strakes are different,
the ovbious antennas are different, most noticeable difference is the DECM antennaes Under the wing root on modern A-6s - which are the Reason the strakes have been moved.
KA-6D early Don’t have them, but late ones (desert storm eras) have themand the specific bits for the A6-E with trams obviously
anyway, here’ a link that may be useful to you, best walkaround references i found for my own build
if you have any questions, just ask

They have a colour code table as well: https://www.ipms.nl/artikelen/hints-tips-kleurtabel
They are a Dutch model builder community and the site is in Dutch so if you need translations I’ll be happy to help -

Good to see whilst we are waiting for the ‘real’ thing…

Would love to see a nice A-6 Intruder. I spent my Navy career fixing them and Prowlers. Miss the old bird, but not the exfoliation corrosion

Well… on my own, I’m fond of ‘jammers’ of any kind… EF-111A, F/A-18G, B-1 too, I mean, but Prowlers were remarkable at this task too.
And I’m missing them a lot… all of them above, except for Growlers, of course.With best regards.

So sad that the intruder/prowler doesn’t have a half-working model! That cockpit looks interesting and so different from the other one-seater cockpits it would make for a very different flying experience, especially with the implemented carrier ops and fully loaded up.
But, I can see the older avionics/weapons technology, the different screens, the focus on the Viper and I understand making cockpits is difficult, so I understand this is a low priority. It’s just a shame though.
