The 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—an aircraft capable of penetrating enemy defenses and destroying targets in any weather. The A-6 Intruder was designed to meet these requirements. The Intruder first flew in 1960 and was delivered to the U.S. Navy in 1963 and to the U.S. Marine Corps in 1964 and was accepted as an "A" model in 1968. Serving under harsh conditions in Vietnam and later in the 1991 Desert Storm campaign, the A-6 accumulated more than 7,500 flying hours, over 6,500 landings, 767 arrested landings, and 712 catapult launches, flying missions during the first 72 hours of the Gulf War.
Hobby Master is a manufacturer of high quality, pre-built, diecast models. Each model is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using specifications of the original aircraft or vehicle. They are made with diecast metal and some plastic components.
