Starfighter Decals 1/72 A-6E Colorful Desert Storm Intruders
By Matt Bittner
In any unusual departure for Starfighter Decals, this release in 1/72 is for two Grumman A-6E Intruders. The two Colorful Desert Storm Intruders are:
- VA-65 Tigers, CAG, 1991, finished in two-tone grey with a bat-wielding tiger on the nose
- VA-36 Road Rounners, AJ 531, 1991 (Lost 2 Feb 1991), again finished in two-tone grey, but with a head of a road runner (bird) in red on the tail, and a "girl on a heart" on the nose
The color with these three are in the markings, as opposed to the finish. The VA-65 has two tigers marked on the plane; and the VA-36 has the road-runner-head in red, and the colorful nose marking.
This is another superb release from Starfighter Decals, printed by Cartograf, so colors and registration are spot on. If you're looking for markings for your Fujimi A-6E, then you'll definitely want to pick up these decals.
Huge thanks to Starfighter Decals for sending this set to review.
