Italeri 1405 1:72 Grumman KA-6D Intruder Plastic Model Kit US Navy Hobby

About This Item

The Grumman Corporation developed and designed the A-6A, based on U.S. Navy specifications, a twin jet-engine all-weather medium attack aircraft able to operate from American aircraft carriers. The “Intruder” was characterized by a sturdy and robust fuselage and by the two side-by-side seat cabin configuration for the pilot and the weapons officer. Navy operatives needed a tanker aircraft to provide aerial refueling support to strike aircraft, so in 1970 the K-A6D version was born. Directly derived from the A-6A airframe, the K-A6D was fitted with an internal hose and reel refueling package and with the adoption of extra underwing pylon tanks.
