This is a Vietnam era Aircraft that I chose to do from Nas Jacksonville Florida where they where stationed at in the late sixties and early seventies.  This A-4C Skyhawk from VA-15 "The Valions" was a Hasegawa kit I found at my local hobby shop here in town and immediately had to have it.  I built this model around 2002 or so.  The kit came with the decals already included which was a plus because it was hard to find the decals for this Squadron anyway. The kit went together pretty well and did not need to much seam filling.  I painted the kit in overall gull Grey with white under wings and fuselage.  I did a few little painting details here and there to spruce it up a bit.  Overall I think it came out to be a descent model. 

I am always learning as I build and hope to get to the professional stage of model making one day. 

I hope you enjoy my model.

Chris
