Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hello all Im finally finished with this one, I started my first ever WIP on October 11th. Heres a link to the WIP It Represents an A-4E used by VMA-214 BlackSheep operating out of Chu Lai in late ‘66 or early ‘67. I represented it with a mixed load out of Mk.82’s and GP bombs left over from WW2 & Korea. There was a munition shortage at the time and all services were using up stored old stock. So here we go I’ll let the plane do the rest of the talking. I hope it meets with some good reviews. I built this in tandem with a Hobbyboss FJ-4b Fury. I will post the photos for the Fury soon. They are both completed. As usual any Comments ? any Questions ? any Jokes ? Have a great modeling day. Dennis 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 A splendid looking Scooter with what looks like just the right amount of wear and tear for what must have been some hard-worked aircraft. USN/Marine Corps colours were so much more interesting back then than today (like all air forces, sadly). The A4 is always a 'nifty' looking type. I remember being impressed with there manoueverability in 'Top Gun'. Interesting about the munitions situation at the time. I guess they were getting through a lot of it at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
