Napalmakita Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I started a topic earlier on scooters and as I went to get started on my A4 Mike, I came across the Hase E/F boxing I forgot I had. I was gonna do a 311 grey scooter but I've always wanted to try an adversary scheme. Not knowing much about them, would this be doable with the E/F? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Sure, there were many units that flew A-4E/Fs in the Adversary role. TOPGUN, VF-43, -45, -126, -127 to name a few. Lots of great schemes too! -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be shopping for a decal sheet, so any recommendations will be mucho appreciated👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I would guess that most of the Skyhawks used for aggressor/adversary training were E/F models. They were more built and, other than being newer, I don’t think the M model would have added much performance improvement over the E/F, especially those resisted with the larger engine.

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Fightertown Decals specializes in Adversary schemes, as Brian grew up on and around NAS Miramar. Can't think of his A-4 stuff specifically, but if anyone knows the stuff, it's him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 If you can track down Fightertown Decals 48036 and 48027, we have some E/F/M, TA-4J/Fs. The best sheet out there is Fights On 48001 and 48002 - great stuff! 4A13B94D-E980-469B-9E90-8F97438CC07E.webp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zaggy Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The last Fights On! A-4 sheet I got was from Hannants - they only had ONE of the two sheets in stock, but maybe i'ts what you want, and thus worth a look? That said, the Fights On! and FTD are getting harder to source... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MHaz Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I *may* have 1-2 copies of those sheets in storage. I sent all but a few Fights On sheets to Sprue Brothers when Mike Pister and I decided to split up Fights On from Vagabond. (Rough year, that one.) I already have had one request for a couple if I can find where the movers put then. If you can give me a couple weeks to get out to my storage room with actual time to look, I'll be happy to see if there's any left. I can't promise they're still there, however. Stuff was packed up over a year ago, and I was already at my new job when the movers came. We've had 1-2 boxes turn up missing as we've gone through stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I gave up the search, put the scooter back on the shelf and started another Tomcat..so no hurries, no worries. If the sheet turns up that would be great..just let me know.
