KursadA Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 CD48179 will be a 1/48 sheet for hi-viz TA-4J trainer Scooters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Looking forward to seeing profiles. I'll just leave these here if you're looking for a couple of ideas beyond the standard orange/white scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I've never been able to find 1/72 scale decals for TA-4J in training colors. Seems all that have been made (kit or aftermarket) are for special commander, commemorative, Bicentennial, or Adversary birds. Please consider a 1/72 sheet of trainers, too!

Dutch Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) I will second Paul's request for Navy training TA-4F/J's and add Marine TA-4F/J's in the FAC role. Especially in 1/72 scale. K/r, Dutch Edited March 23, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Boyer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Wow, Dutch! Never seen that one before. And it's another commander's bird. Nifty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe Pincelli Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Kursad, I'd also like to suggest a sheet covering "Humped two seaters" for use with the Phase Hangar OA-4M & TA-4KU conversions I recently made. I also have an OA-4AR conversion in the works. These would include: USMC OA-4M Argentine OA-4AR Kuwaiti TA-4KU Brazilian AF-1A Gabe Edited March 23, 2020 by Gabe Pincelli Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eraucubsfan Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Test Pilot School!! I know it's been done before but VX-4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Great news again Kursad. Always loved the Skyhawk (can you tell from my screen name?) and the two seaters have been sorely neglected. Only a few sheets have ever been made. This one should be a good seller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Personally, I'd really like to see some standard orange & white VT birds in 72nd scale. There has been zero coverage of these jets in the small scale. Fred K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Emvar Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Would you consider adding the Marines to this sheet, VMAT-102. I think the smaller scale guys would like that too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 VMAT-102 artwork is already done and will be on both the 1/72 and 1/48 sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircal62 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I agree, lots of aggressor schemes but nothing really for the trainers in the orange/white or blue/white schemes are available currently out there. I might suggest however some USMC utility squadrons such as H&MS 33 as found in the Ginter USMC skyhawk books. Several of those have never been done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I second AirCal62's suggestion. R/ Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tx1012 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 How about VT-23 before they transitioned to the T-2C Buckeye? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cag_200 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) VF-126 I seen one on a video (www), it was gorgeous, gold, yellow, blue.. Slightly diffrent than the picture shown at top Edited March 26, 2020 by cag_200 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk524 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I'll second the VT-23 jets. One of the more unique training schemes. I'll also second a Test Pilot School jet, specifically 153524, Modex 8, but only because she still flies and I've helped keep it that way since 2004. I have a few other jets that I would suggest: First is BuNo. 158722. This jet was actually the primary Blue Angels #7 for the team's entirety of the A-4, but in 1987 she went back to the training fleet, and now survives on the deck of the Lexington in a fake paint scheme. Her paint isn't anything fancy, but she is a generic jet from Kingsville, and they never took the cranked refueling probe off from her day's with the Blues. The markings were the same on the other side. The other jet is BuNo 152855 with VF-126. Its Modex was 619, and it was the only jet that A-4 designer, Ed Heinemann ever got a ride in. The attached photo is from that ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
