Can't find a proper name for it other than the A-6 or A-6/U variant. Apparently they added weight to the tail section to offset the bracing up front and that caused the flight characteristics to deteriorate.

Maybe now it is as I believe that, like my Airfix plastic model aeroplanes were in days of yore, this one is now suspended from the ceiling!
