Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Hello all as im wrapping up my F.3 Lightning and Fg.1 Phantom Builds. Im prepping for my next build. Im going to do a Hobbyboss Fj-4b Fury in VA-55 warhorses markings. Im going to re-paint my Grand Phoenix Fj-4b Fury in new markings as well. Probably go with a marine unit as its already in Marine markings. Easier to recycle it if i have less to change. So im looking for any photo’s of VA-55 Furies. I have exactly 3 photos and a couple of Profiles. I found the cruise year books for the west-pac cruise in 58-59 on the USS Benington CVA-20. And I’ve found the A4 association pages for VA-55 and that gave me all Three Photo’s. If anyone knows of any photos or has info on VA-55 that might help me I would appreciate it ? Thank you in advance. Dennis Edited October 6, 2017 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I have had a look and come up with zilch. Small photo in the Ginter FJ-4/4B book with unit colours plus a few with very generic markings. Short-lived unit with FJ-4s I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) @Sabrejet Yes they only operated the type from November 1957 - March 1959. Prior to that they operated the AD-6 Skyraider and After they converted to A-4D2 or A-4B’s. The One photo and the profile i have match, so i will go with that. I have everything i need to do it. Like any good modeler im always looking for more sources. Edited October 5, 2017 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
