This is a finely detailed die-cast model of the A-6E Intruder from Maisto's Tailwinds Collection. It comes with a display stand and is 4" long, 4" wingspan and1" tall when sitting on its landing gear without the stand.
New in box and factory sealed. It comes with a stand and is 4 1/4" long,4 1/2" wide and 1" tall (without stand, setting on it's landing gear). The A-6 Intruder is an American twin jet-engine, mid-wing attack aircraft built by Grumman Aerospace. The Intruder was developed in response to a United States Navy specification for an all-weather carrier based attack aircraft to serve as a replacement for the piston-powered, WW II era A-1 Skyraider.
A unique CRT gives a synthetic display of terrain ahead which, with the additional crew member, enabled low-level flying in all weather conditions. The wing is very efficient at subsonic speeds. The Intruder was also equipped with the "Deceleron", a type of airbrake on the wings.
The A-6 became both the US Navy's and US Marine Corp's principal medium and all-weather/night attack aircraft from the mid-1960s through the 1990s.
Its effectiveness in flying low and delivering its payload made it especially vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire and in the eight years the Intruder was used, the U.S. Navy and Marines lost 84 Intruders to all causes during the Vietnam War. Of the 84 Intruders lost to all causes during the war, ten were shot down by surface to air missiles (SAMs), two were shot down by MiGs, 16 were lost to operational causes, and 56 were lost to conventional ground fire and AAA.
During Operation Desert Storm, Navy and Marine Corps A-6s logged more than 4,700 combat sorties, providing close air support, destroying enemy air defenses, attacking Iraqi naval units, and hitting strategic targets.

Insurance is no longer your choice due to Ebay's new policies. Although we rarely have damage, Let's face it, shipping carriers are not perfect, accidents do happen and packages can be lost or damaged. They do not operate flawlessly, that is why they offer optional insurance. We have always recommended insuring your item to insure its safe travel to its destination. We cannot be held responsible or liable for any item once we hand over the package to the shipping carrier. Please understand that the Seller does not have any control over what happens to your item or how your package is treated once the shipping carrier takes over. Since Ebay has chosen to take away your choice then we have had to adjust our return policy. It is now as stated here: Your item purchase price will be refunded to your PayPal account we will not refund the Shipping & Handling. The item must be returned within 7 days at the buyers expense. This is how we will keep your S & H charges down rather than our raising them to automatically cover insurance that is forced on you as Ebay suggests that we do.
