The folks at Meteor Productions continue to turn out great aftermarket decals with some of the best instructions/color profiles on the market. Markings are provided for one very interesting aircraft:

  • A-7E, BuNo 159308, VA-86, AJ/403, USS Nimitz, Dec 1975

This was a line SLUF (Short Little Ugly 'Fella') from VA-86 featuring a full-sized rattlesnake logo on the vertical stabilizer, orange diamonds on the rudder, a large orange diamond on the top of the fuselage, orange stripes on the upper surface of the wing, and standard identification markings on the remainder of the aircraft.

This set provides a colorful alternative to the kit markings in Trumpeter's beautiful A-7E kit and will definitely look great on the contest table!.
