Rob_Haelterman Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, I am sure I am not the only one to love the many adversary schemes that the A-4 wore. I am therefor more than a little bit surprised that I can find so few decal sets for them (apart from the Superscale ones from 30 years ago). Am I looking in the wrong place ? TIA R Edited July 13, 2016 by Rob_Haelterman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I have looked for some myself and there isn't any. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TIA R People was told "it won't sell" and it was pretty much the same for Vipers,save Twobobs and some polish or czech adventurer nothing was released in 72.Even Hasegawa snobbed the 1/72 aggressor Vipers. Still blaming myself for selling the Scooter's Gekko Graphics sheet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) There have been a couple from Wolfpak decals (yes, "Wolfpak" spelled without the "c"). EDIT: 72-083 has a nice A-4M for starters: http://millcreekconsultants.com/WP72-16.html Edited July 13, 2016 by Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rex Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) hmm, it will be interesting to see what Mike comes up with. Up until now, they have been scattered at best. Fujimi had an A-4E release that included them, Esci/Ertl had one that wasn't all that accurate, Two Bobs had one sheet, then the A-4M and TA-4J that Andrew is talking about from Wolfpak. Two old MS/SS sheets that are hard to find now, and don't always match the photos in the books. And a VF-43 on an extremely old MS sheet. oh, I forgot, Testors had one sheme too, it was an A-4E that was supposed to go on the Italeri A-4M that came in the box. Those were for Jester's aircraft, and would probably work okay on an Esci/Ertl kit. Edited July 13, 2016 by Rex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_Haelterman Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Patience, young padawan... Your cries have been heard :-) Any idea how long I might need to continue crying ? (Patience has never been my most pronounced virtue...) Cheers Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MHaz Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 :-) Any idea how long I might need to continue crying ? (Patience has never been my most pronounced virtue...) Cheers Rob Not too terribly long. Once we get a couple more sheets out, we'll get the Skyhawks done in the One True Scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_Haelterman Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Not too terribly long. Once we get a couple more sheets out, we'll get the Skyhawks done in the One True Scale As building a model in short time isn't one of my virtues either, and as I have quite a few on the bench right new, that might fit in with my schedule. Any way to get a warning when they are out ? Cheers R Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The issue is,... and I am afraid to say it here on this forum, that, well, I am actually an armor modeler. So, I am not sure if I will get the news.
