Intruders from the Sea - USN/USMC A-6A/A-6B/KA-6D Intruders in the Vietnam War

Covers 16 aircraft, including two A-6B Mod 0 Iron Hands and two KA-6D tankers. Three CAG schemes are also covered - including the "patience my fool" vulture marked VMA-224 CAG scheme. Many of the schemes covered can be modeled using the single release, although stencils are provided for one full airframe (more can be purchased separately).

VMA(AW)-224 Bengals - last of the four USMC A-6 squadrons in Vietnam (the three land based USMC squadrons were covered in the first AOA release):

USS Coral Sea 1971-72 (5 options - 3x A-6A including CAG scheme, 1x A-6B, & 1x KA-6D)

VA-95 Green Lizards - deployed in 1973, supporting Operation End Sweep (mining clean up) along North Vietnam and had some rather large squadron markings:

USS Coral Sea 1973 (2 options - 2x A-6A, including CAG scheme)

VA-165 Boomers - four out of five of their combat cruises covered (final cruise in 72-73 isn't covered, but it resembled scheme used in 71-72):

USS Ranger 1967-68 (1 option - A-6A)

USS Ranger 1968-69 (1 option - A-6A)

USS America 1970 (1 option - A-6A)

USS Constellation 1971-72 (1 option - A-6A CAG scheme)

VA-196 Main Battery - four out of five of their combat cruises covered (first cruise in 67-68 isn't covered, but it resembled scheme used in their second cruise):

USS Constellation 1968-69 (1 option - A-6A)

USS Ranger 1969-70 (1 option - A-6A)

USS Enterprise 1971-72 (2 options - 1x A-6A & x1 A-6B)

USS Enterprise 1972-73 (1 option - KA-6D)

The Intruders' Sandbox - USN/USMC A-6E Intruders in Libyan Strikes & Desert Storm

Relatively smallish sheet covering 5 squadrons but options for 7 aircraft. One from all three of the squadrons from the 1986 Libya strikes (VA-34, -55, & -85) and also two squadrons from Desert Storm (VA-35 & VMA(AW)-533). The DS ones there are two aircraft options for each, the alternate ones are aircraft with the early unused perforated brakes to allow some options for swapping parts between the A and E kits.
