Looking For info on VA-55 Warhorse’s ?


Recommended Posts

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.

@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.
