48-019 - BLACK PONIES, SHAMROCKS, & JARHEADS
USN/USMC OV-1OA Broncos in the Vietnam War Era

This extensive 1/48 decal sheet predominately covers the Navy's unique and relatively short-lived light attack squadron VAL-4 Black Ponies, allowing the option to represent one of many possible VAL-4 Broncos throughout their entire service in Vietnam from 1969-72.  Also included and related to VAL-4's history is VS-41 Shamrocks, an S-2 Tracker squadron that was responsible for the stateside training of VAL-4 crews and personnel throughout the war.  Last but not least, also covered are USMC Broncos from VMO-2 and VMO-6, both of which also used the Bronco heavily in various combat roles in Vietnam.
