FULL VIDEO HobbyBoss 1/48 conversion EA-6A Wild Weasel conversion of HobbyBoss 1/48 A-6 Intruder to EA-6A Wild Weasel watch part 1, 2 and 3 on my playlist
Amazing job.....great techniques, well shot vid and excellent descriptions. It makes watching your modeling a pleasure......as I am a relatively mediocre modeler you inspire me to do better...thank you 👏👌!!!
Good Job on the Model. One note though…. In the Navy/Marine, specifically during Vietnam, in which the EA-6A operated, Naval Anti-Radar/SEAD Attack Aircraft were known as Iron Hand Aircraft, for Operation Iron Hand, the Navy’s equivalent to Wild Weasel. Wild Weasel was predominantly a USAF designation, not USN or USMC, and both terms fell out of use over time. Modern Day parlance now calls those missions SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) missions. Flight of the Intruder, written by Stephen Coonts, an A-6 Driver, also notes this (Iron Hand SEAD missions) in both the Book and Movie.
Κορυφαια ποιοτητα editing και γενικα ολης της παρουσιασης. Πραγματικα ισαξια αντιστοιχων καναλιων του εξωτερικου. Λιγες ακομα φωτο του ολοκληρωμενου μοντελου στο τελος θα ηταν σιγουρα ευπροσδεκτες μιας και επρεπε να παταω pause για να δω διαφορες λεπτομερειες. Συγχαρητηρια!
True artists make it look so simple, yet we know! And you're video skills make us think a blind man with two left hands could have a chance, but we know better! I take this as your attempt the help me, challenge me, to be a better modeler. Thank you for that - even if it is a wasted effort on me!!! But I'll keep trying, ok?!
Nice build, although You failed a bit about some rather important element of research - EA-6A features longer, radome which is different than those from attack variants. You could still use Revell/Monogram kit nose. Of course it requires some surgery on completed model, but I believe it's possible.
Wasn't the canopy glass tinted, that gold color. I never saw a the electronic A birds in person but saw many electronic B birds the four seaters and their canopies were tinted with gold color. Not criticizing the build it self, it's a wonderful model of the aircraft. VMA-AW-533 1979-1982, MOS-6013, Plane Captain.
@@PerisModels my plane is done and it's looking awesome with the decals. Made a bit of a mess with the glue. Thanks to you and stumbling on to your channel made buy my model. 👍😁
Love your videos, Peri! When using CA glue to fill gaps, do you let it fully cure before sanding? Is it really hard to sand once it is dry? Thanks for the tips!
Fantastic video Peri, great attention to detail! On the pipes and boxes behind the cockpit section how did you do the black and silver manufacturer labels? It is small details like that, that make it come to life. Subscribed!
Looks pretty good. I think you went a little overboard with the weathering on the top. And I'm going to go ahead and split hairs here. The wing stowage locking bars should be red, and since those are on, it should also have the intake covers installed as well as the 'remove before flight' "flags" and the yellow protective cap over the nose of the missiles.
Peri's Models , no problem brother. I would hate to know that if you entered it into a competition and lost points because I didn't mention some extra details and sop's that I am aware of. We, plastic scale modelers, are a community of skilled artisans and should help each other out. I would still share my thoughts and constructive criticism even if we were competing in the same show. One other idea for ya. You could even put it on a carrier deck with the wheels chalked and tie down chains attached. Thanks for sharing the build.
Hi, really admire your persistence in patiently building these miniature aircraft models with every aspect of the model represented in its true form!!! Can you build me a couple of aircraft models such as these on your videos??? I'm willing to pay for it both for procuring the model aircraft kit & your brilliant workmanship!!! Please advise
Great build and great video. Terrible music, though. Had to mute it. Watching someone build a model is a relaxing activity. The music is frenetic and nerve-wracking.
Great Job! One question, when you do all the painting job, are you using any sort of paint booth? Or extraction fan? Is the only thing keeping me from starting any project with an airbrush. THANKS!
Stug 3 117 , yup totally agree from the viewpoint of toxic fumes, but wearing some form of face mask 😷 is a good idea because the paint particles can get into your respiratory system and perhaps cause medical conditions like COPD, but I don’t know how much exposure to those particles you have to experience is dangerous, in my opinion it’s “better to be safe than sorry “, I use disposable (bio degradable) masks like the ones we are seeing a lot of on tv 📺 because of the coronavirus outbreak in China, they are cheap and effective, although I suspect the price will be going up due to the worldwide demand for them at the present time. Good luck when or if you take up airbrushing Cristian Balo’ 👍
@@PerisModels well I do model trains, 1930's Colorado narrow gauge and we weather also. But you military guys are way ahead of us when it comes to weathering, so I watch to learn. And your videos are some of the best, you give the color, needle size, air pressure etc. You document each step in the build, you cant do much more for a viewer except build it for him. So I still dont see what is not to like. Great work, thanks.
After the Flory wash did you re-seal with X-22 before you did the oil weathering? Don't you have to? What kind of oil thinner do you use? Mineral spirits or turpentine maybe?
Honestly cannot remember I usually do but you don't have to do as the phlory wash is water based. I just use thinners from the hard ware store. Nothing special
Hey so for the final details do you use CA glue or cement I have thinned cement so it tears up the paint if I’m not extremely careful but I recently picked up ca glue for filling gaps so I was thinking. Thanks!
yes my friend only a bit of filler is required on seams (as every model) and the intakes. If you watch the Step by Step videos you will see. Nothing to concern about tho
Hi peri, how long do you wait between coats? For exemple when you painted the cockpit to black and than to gray how long do you wait inbetween? Thanks! :)
JP-8?, uhmm, nope your wrong there, no such fuel exists, now if your talking about JP-5 fuel for military aircraft, that's a different story, except you need to do more info work, 1st off the JP-5 fuel when engines shutdown comes out of a tube below the engine, not over the centerline tank, any spillage on the centerline drop tank usually is oil from the generators, 1 per motor =2, usually if you have leaky oil from generator it gets replaced immediately, other spoilage sometimes is hydraulic fluid.
Is there more than one person working on the model? Why is all the captioning, "we did this" and "we did that" instead of " I did this" or " I did that." Maybe you have a couple personalities 😋 just curious.
The US Army never called anything "Wild Weasel", it's the US Air Force definition used for F-105 Thunderchief and F-4 Phantom II used to target enemy SAM sites during the Vietnam war.
The EA-6A was built exclusively for the Marine Corps. The squids didn't begin operating them until late 1977 when VMAQ-2 began to transition to the EA-6B and started transferring aircraft to the reserves with VAQ-209 at Oceana.
@@PerisModels I worked on the EA-6B Prowler in the NAVY, I forgot all about the EA-6A. Also I seen some A-6's as well. Before they got decommissioned, starting in the late 90's.
At one point a number if a-6 intruders were converted for electronic warfare and they had that tail on, an extra pylon and different cockpit and antennas 👍🏻
That is the tail for a EA6A, if contains the receivers on one side and antennas on the other for the ALQ-76. On the EA6B is does the same for the ALQ-99
Depressing how good the builds are!
Thanks 😊
Your videos are a wealth of information on the techniques needed to tactical these kits. Incredibly helpful for me.
That is pure CLASS mate. Goes beyond museum quality, simply stunning.
