Pirata Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm thinking about buying the Wolfpack Designs ATARS conversion set For the Academy 1/72 F/A-18D. What are my marking options? Are there any decals for these planes? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoops Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 All of the Marine All Weather Fighter Attack squadrons have had or have currently an ATARS as far as I can tell. So that would include: VMFA (AW)-225 VMFA (AW)-121 VFMA (AW)-533 VMFA (AW)-224 VMFA (AW)-242 And the Moonlighters too before they made inactive Until now there are no decals for ATARS birds in 1/72, but I have it on good authority that we have reason to hope for some.

ST0RM Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 VMFA-232 has a pair that are on loan from -225 and -121. -JS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pirata Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 @Hoops, et al: Thanks! I didn't know I had so many choices. Would the ATARS Hornets ever be armed at any point? Or just for self-defense? @Antonov: Dude, replace your 22 year old video game and step into the 21st Century! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Would the ATARS Hornets ever be armed at any point? Or just for self-defense? Since the ATARS pallet replaces just the gun, all the rest of the armament options are still available. I don't know how much this happens in real life, though.

wolfik Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 hi all for what a type of a mission has the ATARS equiped hornet the laser pod? http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Marines/McDonnell-Douglas-F-A-18D/1617113/M/ many thanks for any help!! regards Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ixgr1 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) for what a type of a mission has the ATARS equiped hornet the laser pod? as Andre eluded too, ATARS Jets are still fully mission capable and can still 'drop bombs'. -Possibly this bird could be an illuminator aircraft for other LGB laden aircraft ?
