I wanted to get this one done soon, as a tribute to the guys down under who have been very patient waiting for me to get off of my backside and finish it. I painted all twenty delivery serials, in all generations of VC724/VF805 schemes; and each serial is painted sometime in its career in one of the schemes. I was careful with my research to make sure the written-off aircraft were not painted in later schemes then when they were lost (it's a respect thing). This is my Veteran's Day/Armistice Day contribution........
Many Thanks!!!!
Would be nice the traffic file......

Thank you so much for this! I am doing a retro RNZAF/Nowra package, but might just have to do an extra-retro(tm) version, rolling back to before 1984... I mean I even have HMAS Melbourne sailing off the coast for some T&G practice
Looking forward, patiently, for the RNZAF Kahu birds... which, if you want any data, images, details, loadouts etc I can help you with

Zsolt, I think that it would be better if you asked if anybody plans to make a traffic file in another thread.
It could be taken that you are complaining, which I know you are not doing, but I wouldn't want anybody to get the wrong idea.
This thread is for Mike to promote his models rather than requesting for plans for them.

Outstanding, may have to add these to my non retro X since I think I only have a few P-3's and C-130 in Kiwi service, plus these are very cool Scooters with the upgrades.

Sorry I didn't get back with you right away (Sean), but your input definitely found its way into a couple of the loadouts.......

Did I miss the US Navy later A-4's such as the E's? If I did, can someone point me to them please?

The late USN/USMC Scooters are coming, never fear. Sooner than later, now, just got away from them for a time.....

I had a request for the M models last week, so I need to get up and finish this project up, so it will be off of my brain.... and in the hands of the fans.....

..And I thank you very much for responding to my request so quickly and we are looking forward to them! Our package is going to kick some serious butt now that the A-4's will be available to round it out!!

Here are the middle USN/USMC Skyhawks, early/late A-4E....

.... and the A-4F. This was pretty much identical to the late A-4E, as the A-4Es were brought up to this standard. The difference here is just in the paints.

I traded Starfighters for Skyhawks this week, to try to close out this project in a huge surge of painting..... 88 new paints for part 2 and part 3 of this project, I let out all the stops for the M models, painted a lot of two-serial stuff to stretch the painting for not having a lot of units that used these aircraft late in their careers. Here are the A-4Ms, early and late variants......

.... and the A-4L and OA-4M, all of this is going to AVSIM tonight, and will be available tomorrow. With a little luck I might be able to squeeze out the two-seaters, just down to painting. If not, by tomorrow, then next week after work, with paint kits thrown in so all of the better painters than I can have at it.....

Gorgeous! I have a great fondness for the OA-4M. I can't put my finger on why but I do fins it a lovely aircraft.
