[A-4E Community Mod] Livery Requests

Hey Guys

With the upcoming release of the A-4 one of my favorite Vietnam era birds. I'm putting this thread together to get an idea of what pilots would like to see as far as skins go....I'm going to do a 15 skin pack for this awesome plane once the the guys making the plane release the template to the public. So here below is the list of whats coming with the A-4 Skyhawk.

USMC VMA-121 Green Knights

USMC VMA-131 Diamondbacks

USMC VMA-211 Avengers

USMC VMA-311 Tomcats

USMC Pacific Missile Test Range

We have additional skins as well, but some may not release with the initial release. For our international lineup, we have Israel and Kuwait confirmed (I believe) with several others. The A-4 is also remarkably easy to paint and I think it should be quite easy for others to make skins for it as well.

So please post below of what you'd like to see and Ill get a list of 15 skins that Ill do...

1. Brasilian Anniversary

2. VC-1 Blue Aliis

3. Israeli AF

4. Argentina AF 2nd version

5. RNZAF

6. VMA-134 (Skyhawks)

7. VMA-214 (Black Sheep)

8. VFC-12 (Fighting Omars)

9. Draken international Camo

10. USMC VMA-331

11. Grupo de Caza

12.

13.

14.

15.

I just want to say a BIG Thank you to the guys who are making this plane for us and wish you all the very best. OK so let's see what you guys want. Please post any pics you can of as many POV as possible. Salute!

Is there a chance of seeing a Kahu? New Zealand Air Force.

Not too many pics around...

Sure but can you place more pics of the plane in your thread. different POV, thanks. It must be aircraft with the humpback.

UCS, are the new pictures on the New Zealand request good enough? I can try to get more If needed.

Ill do a search on the web for more when I get ready to do the skin but if you have any I would post them in your thread the more I have the better

:thumbup:

Hey Guys,

We have a few slots left for your choice of what skin you would like to be created for this awesome bird. Fill it up fellas.

I would like to maybe see my dads Squadron VF-43, he was once CO there. A link to what they looked like.

Did they have the A-4 with the humpback. I only do historical skins or at least ones that actually flew with particular paints. Id be happy to do it for ya.

Looking way back in the squadrons early days, they did have humpback versions, but when my dad flew them in the early 90's, they were straight back F' versions. Wasn't till the 80's the became an aggressor squadron and the paint schemes changed. The squadron had F-5's, F-16's also at that time, which someone graciously made an F-5 livery of my dads.

I cant seem to find any pics of the VF-43 Humpback version. If your dad has any pics please post them here and Ill add it to my list..
