The Airborne Models A-6 Intruder you mentioned has been a kind-of "go-to" full-size plane for the many newcomers we've seen this summer.
Unfortunately its discontinued. Maybe SPA should lobby World Models to crank up another run, or some other ARF maker to build a true classic pattern. Unfortunately overweight, undersized, and oversized versions don't count.

I have "the last" A6 Intruder sold by the importers. It was a model that was returned due to damage. It is still in the box, unopened.
I'm thinking about buying an Intruder from Carolina Models. That's a good price for the kit with the fiberglass fuselage and foam wing cores. All I'd need after that is a good set of retracts. Makes me wish I had kept the MK retracts that I bought from George Asteris a while back. Oh well. I'll probably opt for a set of Spring-Air retracts. I like pneumatic because it isolates the gear's mechanical load from the flight battery. Yep, I'm old fashioned.
