Italeri 1405 1/72 KA-6D Intruder Detailed Scale Model Kit  [IT-1405S]

Italeri 1405 KA-6D Intruder model overview for scale builders

The Italeri 1/72 KA-6D Intruder kit gives modelers a compact, accurate representation of a key U.S. Navy support aircraft. Originally a Grumman design, the A-6 family served carrier operations from the mid 1960s thanks to a rugged airframe and reliable all-weather capability.

Refuelling conversion and why collectors value it

The KA-6D conversion arrived around 1970 to serve as an aerial tanker. It combined an internal hose and reel refuelling system with extra underwing tanks, turning the A-6 into a vital carrier support platform. This kit recreates those distinctive refuelling features for display or study.

Build notes and final display advice

This kit suits builders who enjoy fine detail and period accuracy. The Italeri package includes a decal sheet with markings for four different schemes, letting you pick a preferred livery. With careful assembly and paint, the finished model makes a strong addition to any carrier aviation display.
