Great 

Next will be the A-6B, A6C and A-6E 

if anyone can please send me any photos of the things that need to be added to make the A6-B that would be great I know about the once sencers.

Thanks

Uploaded the A-6A Late Intruder and one LOD without ALR-15 just waiting for the approval. enjoy.

- Fixed some data file issues.

Thanks again my dear yakarov79, for all these corrections and feedback I will fix it soon.

one more photo from 1967. Early A and longer Doppler radar fairing. clearly visible shape of the fairing.

worth noticing is also fuselage airbrakes - at that time already disabled - but in most pictures while the aircraft is parked, panels are slightly opened (low pressure in actuator? access to some internal equipment? ) next aircraft has airbrakes opened even more. 

On later production aircraft, the airbrake mechanism was already removed and panels bolted, also some received small panels to close holes in brakes, and finally, they put new full panels, removing even the hinge.  

thanks, I will do that after the A-6A late model

after installing AN/ALE-29  Doppler radar antenna fairing was shortened with a straight end to fit two slots for chaff/flare launchers.

here slots are blanked with metal plates but this is the place....

 

on early A-6A fairing for the Doppler radar antenna was longer like here..

on C but the idea is the same.

 

So for the A-6A late I will shorten the fairing? #1 is the chaff/flare launchers and #2 needs to be shortened, correct? for the early, it's the same no changes.

man, that was fast...take your time, this is not a race 

I was sitting at my desk when I received your feedback and I couldn't resist the excitement it brought me. I immediately started working on it and gave it my all!

on the right side, aft of the aircon intake under the wing root should be a small exhaust pipe from the air con unit..

is it number 1 or 2

something different to take care of...

WingR still possesses part of wingL....

there is a gap I will show you the screen later...but it is also noticeable in the shot below...

an ugly gap between the cockpit and the fuselage...

Fixed

Done.

Yes.

At this point (around 1968 which will fit for late A) - AN/ALR15 was already mostly removed (small antennas on wingtips - this is a warning receiver)

But  AN/APR-25  RHAW was just added a few months earlier (blobs under wing ends)   so a different story than DECM.

But I have a photo with boom ecms, APR-25 blobs underwings, and leftowers on wingtips after ALR-15... 

and also photos of A with ALR-15, APR-25 but no ALQ-100 ..earlier block build received upgrades gradually (noticeable within USMC )

 

here is visible ALR-15...that yellow thingie on a wingtip

I will make three LOD for one with the ALR15, APR-25, and  ALQ-100  one with ALR15, APR-25 and that one with APR-25, and  ALQ-100

Thank you so much for all of the information that is helpful to fix before moving to the next model.

As for late A-6A...AN/ALQ-100 antenna - which was introduced somewhere in February 1968.

two months late they replaced ALR15 with AN/APR-25. Of course, some older airframes were retrofitted too.

So do I need to add the AN/ALQ-100 antenna to the late A-6A and remove the ALR15?

Nice 

Thanks to everyone who contacted me with information and ways to improve the A-6A and with that I think this will be the most accurate one.
