This new decal sheet from MAW Decals includes markings for 3 different 1/48 USMC A-4 Skyhawks.  

Special thanks goes to Dan Tekker and Scott Brown for their help on this decal sheet.

The 3 aircraft include one two seater and 2 single seater Skyhawks. 

  • A-4C Skyhawk, VMA-224, Marine Attack Squadron Two Two Four BuNo 147779.  Gray on topside and white on underside with green and white stripes on the rudder and gray anti-glare panel.

  • A-4M Skyhawk, VX-5, Navy Air Development Squadron Five BuNo 159471.  Gray on topside and white on underside with green and white stripes on the tail and black anti-glare panel.

  • A-4M Skyhawk, H&MS-24, Marine Headquarters & Maintenance Squadron Two four, BuNo 154333.  Gray overall and black anti-glare panel.

The 6 pages of instructions are clear and include 4 color views of each aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 1 decal sheet.  It's good to see decals being released for these 3 squadrons.  The second plane with VX-5 looks particularly good.
