Devil 501 & Devil 505 - USN Grumman A-6E Intruders on the Big Screen (1/32, 1/48, & 1/72 combo special sheet) In late 1989, A-6E TRAM Intruders from VA-165 Boomers were modified to represent the earlier A-6A from VA-196 Main Battery during a fictitious 1972 USS Independence Vietnam War cruise. This small special sheet includes decals for three scales - 1/32, 1/48, & 1/72 - and includes the exterior markings to reproduce Devil 501 or 505 in each of the three scales. Decals for crew helmets for both aircraft and one external fuel tank are also provided. NOTE - The national insignias are intentionally mis-proportioned on the decal sheet, this is how they appeared on the actual 501 and 505. The insignias were not applied according to correct dimensions/specifications.

Grumman A-6 Intruder & EA-6B Prowler By Andy Evans The US Navy's experience in the Korean War showed the need for a new long-range strike aircraft with high subsonic performance at very low altitude that could penetrate enemy defences and find and destroy small targets in any weather. The Grumman A-6 Intruder was designed with these needs in mind and was a true bomb truck. From the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of Iraq the Intruder proved its worth, able to catty a plethora of weaponry and pack a mighty punch. From the Intruder airframe the KA-6D tanker variant was derived, along with the specialised EA-6A Intruder and then the EA-6B Prowler, a sophisticated four-seat electronic warfare variant, packed with jamming equipment and electronics. Like the A-6, the Prowler was used by both the Navy and Marine Corps. After nearly thirty-seven years and with 693 airframes constructed, on February 28, 1997, VA-34 the Blue Blasters, retired the Navy's last operational A-6E Intruders. The Navy retired its Prowlers in 2015, however, the Marines Corps carried on flying the EA-6B into the early months of 2019. Warpaint 146 is packed full of all the usual historical and reference material, with walkarounds of both Prowler and Intruder, colour artwork by Sam Pearson, and a well-paced narrative that places this essential aircraft in context and showcases its role in US naval operations over nearly sixty years.
