TwoBobs has released an interesting new set for the Hasegawa 1/48 A-4M Skyhawk. These are three typical line aircraft from VMAT-102 Skyhawks, VMA-322 Fighting Gamecocks, and VMA-311 Tomcats. The aircraft are all painted in low visibility gray schemes with subdued markings.

This decal set comes in handy as you can build one of these aircraft as they appeared late in their careers and won't look like something straight from the box! The three aircraft represented are:

  • A-4M, 158184, SC/00, VMAT-102, Aug 1983
  • A-4M, 158161, QR/50, VMA-322, Sep 1985
  • A-4M, 158155, WL/03, VMA-311, Apr 1985

The printing is perfectly in register. The instructions are printed double-sided in color, providing excellent color scheme as well as decal placement information.

While maintenance stenciling was likely at a minimum with these paint schemes, TwoBobs provides enough markings to build three complete aircraft.
