Great! Will it be a pack of skins or a new model?

Having followed the different threads on the topic, I would say we are looking at the result of a cooperation between GKABS and yakarov79. The base models come from GKBAS (A-6A early and late already released here, the A-6B is yet to come) and yakarov79 is making fine-tuning and adding additional details to the models also adjusting his skins to the models.

well, it all started as skin pack for thirdwire Intruders. And It was nearly done, but then GKABS released his model. So soon after I started to import my work onto new skins for his model. We made some changes, lot of changes to data and now I have bunch of skins for all A-6 deployments during Vietnam War - compatible with my previous work on A-7 and some other ongoing WIPs (full CVW  set for specific cruise). It will be available soon, or little more than two weeks. Still researching some serial numbers. Noteworthy is that those camouflaged birds are made via decals, so we have only few birds with famous experimental camouflages within squadron. It is not perfect, but it is good enough in my opinion. You will see. I think I still have some data work to do, just to add more compatibility to A-7, A-4 in matter of MER and TER racks.

hats off to you sir

a USAF wing set can often be hard to pin down.  and there's generally more photographers on an air force base than a carrier underway!  so i can imagine the fun youre having with that

Will there be a new cockpit too, or is it only external models and skins?

last batch for the Vietnam air war. for now, I am missing A-6C and KA-6D.

Some squadrons did not go color frenzy, so not much extravaganza here...

      yakarov79: for making new texture sets.
      By yakarov79
      fixed collision points and hitboxes, fixed lights, and some small data issues
      reworked weapon stations, now it uses a common US 300gal tank, corrected attachment points for big and small bullpups, shrikes, and all weapons in general.
      new skins with new bump maps and specular maps,  so nothing old will work now.
      I used my LAU-7 instead of that old one. now it has the correct proportions to AIM-9,
      I made a new launcher for AGM-12 and AGM-45 - Aero5A now weapons are properly attached to the launcher...
      added some small bits in the model and fixed some mapping issues,
      Additional credits:
      I have added all weapons that are stated in loadout.ini.
      all weapons are made by Ravenclaw
      Zuni rockets for launchers
      except two refueling pods made by nyghtfall from his A-4 pack.
      For the community for sending all the information and PDF files.

      1.0.1
      By yakarov79
      fixed collision points and hitboxes, fixed lights, and some small data issues
      reworked weapon stations, now it uses a common US 300gal tank, corrected attachment points for big and small bullpups, shrikes, and all weapons in general.
      new skins with new bump maps and specular maps,  so nothing old will work now.
      I used my LAU-7 instead of that old one. now it has the correct proportions to AIM-9,
      I made a new launcher for AGM-12 and AGM-45 - Aero5A now weapons are properly attached to the launcher...
      added some small bits in the model and fixed some mapping issues,
      Additional credits:
      I have added all weapons that are stated in loadout.ini.
      all weapons are made by Ravenclaw
      Zuni rockets for launchers
      except two refueling pods made by nyghtfall from his A-4 pack.
      SKins represent pre-Vietnam War squadrons. First user VA-42 they were first in Intruder and was taking care of conversion and training for the US Navy. The second skin is for VA-75 short deployment, first for USS Independence and first for VA-75 on Intruder. Later in 1965, they deployed to Vietnam.
      Software used:
      3d Max 2009
      UVLayout v2 Pro
      Substance Painter
      Adobe Photoshop
      Mixamo
