yes

Thanks smartd - can the missiles go inboard too? The model comes with 2 tanks. One has a slot on the top and the other has a pylon glued on it. The one with the pylon must be the centerline tank. What is the other one for? There are no empty pylons provided.

Missiles can go on the inboard hard points.
Would suppose, that you have a centreline tank and are either missing a tank or got one tank too many.

A6 did not normally fly with asymetrical loading.

I figured out from a previous thread by tripoli and answered by Andrew why there are two different tanks. They are both centerline tanks. One is for use with the display stand and the other is used without it. The model's pylons are apparently not interchangeable between inboard and outboard positions unfortunately. It appears we have to cut the bombs off as Andrew has stated but shouldn't two bombs be removed from each pylon rather than just the one?

One bomb per pylon. I've highlighted in red on the photo the bomb that you could barely see.

And no, the weapon positions aren't customizeable on the Century Wings Intruder

Ah - I see it now - thanks! Is that the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, Florida?

A-6's can carry 5 Mk82 bombs on their inboard pylons. Only the forward inboard one must be removed.

Max Mk83 load is 10. (3 outboard x2, 2 inboard x2)

Here's a photo with 24 on the wings, but I think they're Mk81's:

You mean 22 don't you?

Photo is described as 4th test aircraft armed with 30 Mk 83 GP low drag bombs, six on each pylon.
You can count the load in the photo.

I thought the forward inboard bomb was not used.
