  1. Thanks for your help on the USS Oriskany VMA-212 search. It lead me to the CORRECT information. WHere the F-8'2 wre the VMA(F)-212, the A-4 Skyhawks were VA-163, the Saints. These are the decals I need for my 1/32 Hasegawa kit. Again I am modeling an A-4 Skyhawk off the USS Oriskany on Yankee Station, Vietnam 1965-1967. Again any help is appriciated. And again thanks for you help, as it did direct me to the right stuff. Thanks, Randy
  2. Okay folks, a little research later..... I am looking for the designation of the A-4B Skyhawk group, the Lancers on Yankee Station in 1965 (The group John McCain belonged to). Research shows the group (Lancers) was designated VMA-212 in 1958 operating FJ-4B Furys. In 1961 the A4D-2 Skyhawks were added, they were soon redesignated A-4B. In 1963 upon taking delivery of the F-8B Crusaders they were redesignated VMF-212. Other designations, including the group of Gen Stockdale was VMF(AW)-212. I also saw the designation VMFA-212 on a page related to the history of the Oriskany. Confused yet? M
  3. I recently built Tamiya's 1/32 scale F-4 Phantom. I used the Midway decals because my brother was on that ship. Now I'm hooked on 1/32 scale aircraft, but with a history note in mind. I am trying to locate decals for my 1/32 scale Hasegawa A-4 Skyhawk for VFMA-212 (Lancers) off the USS Oriskany (Vietnam 1965). I have searched seemingly all suppliers to no avail. I have several friends who swear by the information the have recieved on this site, you folks are my last hope. Any help or direction, or even experiences will be greatly appriciated. Thanks, Randy
