Has anybody done a repaint of the virtavia A-4E/F in the colors of the VA-113 stingers? These guys had some famous A-7 colors but also flew the A-4 in the mid 60's. Was a great 1/72 Hasegawa kit once.

Steve (Duckie) said he's got one underway. Hopefully a VA-212 in there too ... check that thread for his repaint updates.

Didnt see VA-113 Stingers in that thread unless Im blind. I have silly reason for asking this... I did a pilots helmet repaint that turned out rather well for that squadron, and thought this repaint had already been done. Was looking to stick it in there. if somebody has done this repaint but not released yet, will be happy to share. I'll send it over to Steve to see if he wants it.

Yes, started one just after the A-4 was released based on that same model kit I built when I was a kid. Finished VA-56 for the SDB Enterprise and was 90% on VA-113 but got hung up on the metallic blue for the fin tip so put it to the side. From messaging Duckie he's doing the same nose number. I'll probably pick another number then.

Looking awesome Steve- as usual! ;)
Very nice. Will try to get the squadron mate up this weekend as well.

Very nice, Steve. Looking forward to picking this up later tonight.
thanks,

Have uploaded the squadron mate.
The particular aircraft was flown by Lt Ernest Christensen who was forced to eject 70 miles offshore on June 23, 1968 due to an engine flame out following a combat mission.

Thanks guys for the AWESOME repaints of VA-113. I added my own stinger helmet version to both!

The helmet master strikes again! Great looking brain bucket!
And with Mal's new FDE it is a new experience to fly. Anyone post a VA-212 paint I might have missed?Quote:
I think I have something like 24 skyhawks repaints downloaded in my sim now!! I tweaked not only the brain bucket but the zoom suit too!
