This is the first of two more decal sheets on the A-4F Skyhawk. Both have been done before either by other companies or in a smaller scale, but are most welcome as these are more up-to-date versions.
The first one is for a VA-93 Skyhawk from CAG-5 aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard in 1970. VA-93 kept basically these same markings when it transitioned to the A-7 and went to spend years in Atsugi, Japan with the USS Midway. One thing that it added was a large sharkmouth. For some reason the toothy markings just never were successful on the Skyhawk!
The other markings are for a VA-55 plane aboard the USS Hancock on what had to be its last cruise in 1974. This scheme is done by another decal company but has the green in a darker shade. Not sure which is correct, but this sheet is definitely less expensive!
Superscale has been nice enough to include the anti-glare panel as a decal and in two slightly different shapes for the appropriate squadron.
Either of these schemes will look really super on your next Hasegawa Skyhawk.
