Product #48093

Product Article by Steve Bamford on May 6 2005

This sheet features three USMC A-4M's with markings for three complete aircraft; two from VMA-211 "Avengers" and one from VMA-214 "Blacksheep".  VMA-211 "Avengers" flew the A-4M 1975 until 1987 and was involved in the training role of ground attack pilots as well as technical training of maintenance personnel.    

VMA-214 "Blacksheep" flew the A-4M from 1984 until 1992.  The one VMA-214 "Blacksheep" jet on this decal sheet has lo-viz artwork of a big horned ram on the side of the fuselage and little tiny stars on the sides of the rudder. 

The Recommended kit for this decal sheet is the 1/48 Hasegawa A-4M.

Twobobs wanted to express thanks to Robert Rys for his reference photos that made this decal sheet possible.  

The 2 pages of instructions include 4 view colour drawings of each aircraft's paint scheme and decal placement.  Colours are listed in FS#'s, Testors, Gunze Sangyo, Xtracolor and Xtraacrylics. 

 

 

It is good to see Twobobs doing decals for USMC Skyhawk Squadrons.  This jet played a important role in the USMC ground attack role and the jet was much loved by the pilots that had the honour to fly it.

I'd like to thank Twobobs for the review sample.
