Italeri 1405 KA-6D Intruder 1/72 - Hobbyist Edition  [IT-1405S]

Overview of the KA-6D Intruder in 1/72 by Italeri

The Italeri 1/72 KA-6D Intruder kit represents a distinctive support aircraft from the U.S. Navy. The A-6 family, created by Grumman, entered service in the mid 1960s and became noted for reliable carrier operations in diverse conditions.

What the KA-6D conversion involved

The KA-6D arrived around 1970 as a tanker conversion, equipped with an internal hose and reel refuelling system and extra underwing fuel tanks. These adaptations allowed the Intruder to serve a critical in-flight refuelling role, and the kit reproduces these features for accurate modelling.

Construction notes and finish recommendations

Designed for hobbyists who value accuracy, the kit includes decals for four marking options to represent different squadrons. Good preparation, careful glue work and quality paints will reward you with a neat, display-ready model.
