- COMBAT SCOOTERS (3) USN/USMC A-4C Skyhawks in the Vietnam War |
||
Three Vietnam A-4C Skyhawk options are provided: VMA-214 deployed to Chu Lai between 1965-67 and both VA-146 and VA-216 deployed on three combat cruises each. The latter two squadrons are represented here with decals from each of their first combat cruises; while VMA-214 is represented in the latter period of their Vietnam deployment when they began to sport more elaborate markings of colored tail with stars and simple but stylized ram/blacksheep on the fuselage. |

[Decals released February 2016] For Trumpeter 1/32 A-4E/A-4F Skyhawk using AMS Resin/B&B Resin Design A-4C Conversion Set |
VMA-214 Blacksheep - Chu Lai, South Vietnam, 1966/67 VA-146 Blue Diamonds - USS Constellation 1964-65 VA-216 Black Diamonds - USS Hancock 1964-65 Airframe stencils included, plus decals for drop tanks and helmets for all three schemes. This sheet was originally available in limited quantities packaged with AMS Resin's A-4C Skyhawk conversion set for the Trumpeter A-4E/F kit. The conversion set provided the main components to backdate the kit to the earlier A-4C: new short nose, windshield wiper assembly, short intakes, new exhaust, correct ESCAPAC ejection seat, and earlier spoked style nose and main wheels. The originally released package set of the decals with the A-4C conversion is sold out. However, as of 2024 the former AMS Resin A-4C conversion set for the Trumpeter A-4E/F is again available from B&B Resin Design and can be purchsed directly through B&B (bnbresindesign@gmail.com). The original single decal sheet is being offered here to purchase without the conversion set included; however, this current offering also provides NO instructions - refer to images below for instructions. |
