mac1677 5,962 Posted July 12 Report Share Posted July 12 Hi all, Here is my take on this kit. A nice wee kit, needs some fettling in places, but over all a nice build. A-4E flown by Lt Cmdr John McCain, VA-46, USS Forrestal, July 1967: Thanks for looking in 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlackMike Models 9,661 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 I'd never seen those markings before, were they McCain's personal colours? Gotta' love the colourful USN markings from that era. Duncan B 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mac1677 5,962 Posted July 24 Author Report Share Posted July 24 They are Sqn colours Duncan, they were applied to every aircraft from what I can gather Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jessie_C 12,865 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 The ground crews must have hated that, and envied all the other squadrons which had solid primary colours that needed only one masking job to paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Convair 49 Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 (edited) Very nice model. I liked the blue paint on the nose, it's different. The "scottish bands" reminded me of a scarf . The mk-82 bombs are also very cool. Edited August 1 by Convair Quote Link to post Share on other sites
