Intruder alert!

a new inclusion in the collection

by "century wings" of japan, made in china

http://www.centurywings.com/model/vma121_vk10_1977.html

a 1/72 scale model of the all weather a-6 intruder used extensively in the vietnam conflict

though sub sonic (less than the speed of sound), this bad boy can deliver it's pay load of bombs in the darkest stormiest Vietnamese monsoon rain it can throw and still return to the carrier deck

till today no navy (carrier based) plane can match the a-6 in terms of range and payload

the photo shows a marine a-6 from the green knights squadron

made of die cast with some plastic parts, this model is great on the detail work
