  • HISTORY ASPECTS:
  • The A-6 Intruder, flown by the illustrious VA-52 Knightriders, played a crucial role in several conflicts during its service with the U.S. Navy. With its signature twin-engine, twin-seat design, the A-6 Intruder became an iconic symbol of American naval aviation. VA-52, known as the "Knightriders," was one of the most distinguished squadrons to operate this formidable aircraft.
  • The A-6 Intruder was a carrier-based twin Jet-engine all weather attack aircraft operated by the US Navy and Marine Corps between 1963 and 1997. A-6 intruders first saw action during the Vietnam War, where the aircraft's long range and heavy payload coupled with its ability to fly in all-weather made it invaluable during the war. The Intruder's side by side seating enhanced its ability to fulfill its typical mission profile of flying low to deliver its payload. The intruder used vastly upgraded navigation and attack systems and advanced radar to navigate through mountain valleys at low levels in order to minimize the aircraft's risk from enemy radar-guided missiles.
  • The A-6 Intruder's combat history includes active participation in the Vietnam War. These aircraft were instrumental in delivering precision strikes on enemy targets, often operating in extremely challenging conditions. Their ability to carry a variety of munitions made them versatile assets, ranging from anti-ship missiles to laser-guided bombs. The Knightriders, in particular, gained recognition for their exceptional performance in these missions.
  • The VA-52 Knightriders were proud operators of the Intruder from November 1967 to December 1994. They became the most decorated Intruder squadron for its sustained efforts during the Vietnam War.
  • This 1:140 scale model accurately represents the aircraft's unique features and the squadron's distinctive markings. It's a must-have for aviation enthusiasts and collectors, allowing you to own a piece of history and honor the legacy of the A-6 Intruder and the heroic Knightriders who flew it.
