I'm writing to contribute a few photos to the Skyhawk models page. I've used the Skyhawk Association pages extensively to research my Skyhawks...
The first model is A-4C BuNo 148609 of VA-76, in the markings of LCDR T.R. Swartz on the day he shot down the Mig-17. It's the Hasegawa 1/48 scale kit with decals and Zuni pods from the Hobbycraft A-4C kit.
The second model is A-4E BuNo 150000 of VA-212. This one uses the other choice on the kit decals from the "Lady Jessie" boxing of the Hasegawa 1/48 A-4. MER and Mk. 82s are from the Hobbycraft A-4C kit.
I have quite a few more Skyhawks underway at this time!
