Looking for VA-128 decals
Posted by rlawson on Thursday, July 28, 2005 4:15 PM
Hoping to find decals for VA-128, the A-6 training squadron, in 1/72.
Anybody know if they exist?

Thanks, Dick

Superscale did a sheet with VA-128 lo-viz markings that's long OOP. I actually have this sheet in my collection if you're interested.

bstrump -

Many thanks for the offer. Actually, I'm looking for the hi-viz version - I think it's in metallic gold. My memory keeps showing me a decal sheet with these on it. However, at this point in life, it lies a lot. Maybe I saw it in 1/48, but that wouldn't help.

This is really nothing critical, but if I ever find them I'll pick them up. I have occasional urges to build a set of a single A/C (same BuNo) in different liveries, and a book I picked up at the Nats added the VA-128 livery to three others I've found for A-6E BuNo 152610, including a TPS version from Desert Storm. From the low BuNo I suspect this A/C started as an A-6A, but I haven't found evidence of that as yet. Maybe someday -
like maybe someday I'd actually build all of them.

Anyway, thanks again for your kind offer.

Regards, Dick
