A-4E VA-163 Saints decals
Posted by wyoroy on Friday, October 3, 2008 9:12 AM
looking for decals for McCain's A-4E.  Has anyone ever come across any?  I have looked every where and have had no luck.  Any scale would be great.

Victory Productions makes a sheet of A-4s that includes a VA-163 A-4E in 1/48. But the numbers do not make the Scooter he was shot down in, Bu No 149959. It's a big sheet with markings for 10 different A-4s including 2 MOH recipients.

EDIT- the VA-163 A-4 is that of James Stockdale when he was downed. MOH recipient.

Thanks, I also found those.  I was hoping I could find some for his plane.  I think I will go ahead and get the one's from Victory.  Have you any experience with Victory?

Again, thanks for the reply.

Other than seeing them in a LHS, no. But they do look great in person.

Carlos,  The is a great website.  A ton of information that we help me with my project.  I think I may do more that Sen. McCain's A-4.

BTW I used to be a teacher in SoCal, the high desert area.

You're very welcome Roy. I found it a few years back when I was building a 1/32 A-4 that I did up in VMA-311 Vietnam era markings.

Where did you teach in the high desert?
