US Navy Grumman KA-6D Tanker Intruder 1/72 Italeri

Italeri kits are usually a little fiddly for me but odd enough I often get lucky with the results as with this Tanker Intruder. Parts breakdown was a bit complicated as this is a derivative of the ordinary Intruder kit. Navy Light Gull Gray / Insignia White is my favourite scheme and I like it on this tanker.

about me

Scale model building is an old but sometimes intermittent hobby of mine, I like to build old Airfix kits, navy planes and whatever looks interesting enough, mostly in 1/72nd scale. Usually the older the better, I lose my interest quickly past the mid-1980's designs it seems.

Out-of-the-box is very often good enough for me, I don't think it should be a bad thing if you can detect the original kit brand from the finished model. Modifications are usually just small things like decals or improved detail parts rather than major surgery or scratchbuilding.
