1:200 Grumman EA-6A / EA-6B

The Electric Intruder was developed for the USMC as an electronic warfare variant of the A-6A Intruder.
28 EA-6As were built (2 prototypes, 15 new machines and 11 converted A-6As) and flew in Vietnam from 1966.
The EA-6B Prowler is the next, more specialized and capable variant; 170 were built and remained in service with the US Navy until the arrival of the EA-18G Growler while the Marines decommissioned the last Prowlers in 2019.

Models: EA-6A Electric Intruder and EA-6B Prowler.

Additional separed loads (AGM-45, AGM-88,AN/ALQ-99 jamming pod and fuel tanks) to be used on _N1 models are provided; print and glue them to the model or merge all the stl in your slicer and print your custom configuration or use a 3d editor that can read .stl files in order to build your own variant.
Loads and weapon stations (hardpoints) have tiny protrusion to make easy the positioning of ordnance.
Also, because i know how easy the fuel probe can broke just handling the model, i've added a replacement for a quick print for both variants.
Models scale 1:200 made to be printed with a FDM with 0.2 nozzle at this scale.

For other scales use the following values into your slicer:
for 1:100 use 200%
for 1:144 use 139%
for 1:200 leave 100%
for 1:285 use 70%
for 1:300 use 66%

At 1:100 it can be used a FDM printer with a 0.4mm nozzle.
Under 1:200 is almost mandatory a resin printer.
Print test 1:200 mades as shown in the images from Cura with a FDM with 0.2mm nozzle and 0.12 mm layers.
