One of my earliest builds once back into the hobby (decades ago) was a Revell Intruder. I still have it, but will toss it now that I've built a real kit! The Fujimi kit has ducting to the blades all the way through front and rear (though [...]
This build was using the 1/48 Hobby Boss A-6A and building as the aircraft portrayed in the 1991 Viet Nam era movie “The Flight of the Intruder. The model itself was detailed using Eduard’s “BigEd” photo etch set as well as self [...]

This KD-6 kit by Italeri is highly recommended
Enjoy the pictures.
Fujimi "Sunday Punchers" Boxing of their wide range of A-6's in 1/72. Straight from the box with kit decals, which weren't the best (as usual with Fujimi) and were very thick and difficult to comform to compound surfaces.
