uscstaylor Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) 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. Originally Posted by Merker Here's our list of confirmed US Military liveries: USN VC-7 Tallyhoers USN VA-55 Warhorses USN VA-163 Saints USN VA-195 Dambusters USN TOPGUN Gray USN TOPGUN Green 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! Edited September 28, 2018 by uscstaylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscstaylor Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Lemans 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemans224 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 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.
