●Looking back at the excitement of the 200th anniversary of the founding of the nation in 2026, the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding
【About the actual aircraft】
The A-6 Intruder was an attack aircraft deployed and operated by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps from 1963 to 1997. A major feature of the aircraft was its side-by-side two-seat cockpit design, which accommodated a large radar system in the nose. It was equipped with two Pratt & Whitney J52-P-8B turbojet engines. It achieved a top speed of 644 miles per hour. The aircraft had a total of five hardpoints: four on the underside of the wings and one on the underside of the fuselage. It could carry air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, rocket pods, and conventional bombs, and had a maximum armament capacity of 18,000 pounds. After entering service in 1963, it also participated in the Vietnam War. At that time, it was also stationed in Japan, and could be seen at Iwakuni Air Base and other locations. In 1976, as the United States celebrated its 200th anniversary, various units produced commemorative painted aircraft to celebrate the founding of the nation.
【About the Kit】
This is a 1/144 scale plastic model assembly kit of the A-6 Intruder, a carrier-based attack aircraft operated by the U.S. military. The kit includes parts for two aircraft. The unique fuselage shape with its side-by-side two-seat layout is accurately reproduced, and the cockpit interior visible through the large canopy is also realistically depicted. Weapons such as missiles are also modeled under the wings. Even at 1/144 scale, it has an impressive presence with a total length of approximately 110mm. The markings are selected from the commemorative painted aircraft that various units competed to design in 1976, the 200th anniversary of the founding of the nation, exactly 50 years before the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in 2026. This kit includes decals to recreate the markings of the commemorative painted aircraft of the U.S. Marine Corps VMA(AW)-121 Green Knights and the U.S. Navy VA-176 Thunderbolts, both of which are deployed at Iwakuni Air Base in Japan. The Thunderbolts commemorative painted aircraft features the "Spirit of '76" markings from when it was aboard the aircraft carrier USS America.
