twp1 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hoping to tap into someone's greater knowledge on Skyhawk's. I have a couple of Skyhawk kits but they are the new Airfix offering that comes with very little in the way of ordnance. Can any confirm whether or not Vietnam era A-4B Skyhawks carried TER racks and if so what type of bomb was usually chucked off them?

Hook Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 A-4B's made just two Vietnam deployments (with VA-15 and VA-95); both were before TER & MER were operational. Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Andre Thanks Andre. I have the Xtradecal Skyhawk decal sheet X72151 which I think has schemes that predate Vietnam service anyway. Would you happen to know what weapons were cleared for use on the A-4B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk. 80 series bombs, including Snakeye fins, Bullpup, rockets (both Zuni and 70mm LAU pods, AIM-9B Sidewinder and fuel / napalm tanks.
