Here's a review of a new release from Two Bobs.  This sheet features markings for four complete aircraft from VF-126 are represented on this sheet; two A-4Ms and two A-4Fs. 

The first aircraft is a USMC A-4M flown by Maj Bob "Jeckyll" Cottenell  with VF-126 in December 1992.  This particular Skyhawk features a gray/green camo scheme with a United States Navy Fighter Weapons School badge at the top of both sides of the tail.  Some of the markings are in two shades to perfectly line up with the camo scheme, so careful masking for the camo is critical.   

The second aircraft is a US Navy A-4M with VF-126.  This particular Skyhawk features a gray/blue/gray camo scheme with a Red Star at the top of both sides of the tail and imposed on the red star is a frontal outline of a Skyhawk.  Some of the decals on this skyhawk are in multiple layers to ensure perfect regristration.   

The third aircraft is a US Navy A-4F with VF-126 flown by LT MP "Dog" Mooney.  This particular Skyhawk features a gray/blue/gray camo scheme with a Gray Star at the top of both sides of the tail and imposed on the red star is a frontal outline of a Skyhawk.  Some of the decals on this skyhawk are in multiple layers to ensure perfect regristration.    

The fourth aircraft is a US Navy A-4F with VF-126 flown by Lt MP "Dog" Mooney.  This particular Skyhawk features a green/tan/brown camo scheme with an Iraqi flag at the top of both sides of the tail.  The paint scheme of this aircraft is to simul;ate an Iraqi jet.  Some of the decals on this skyhawk are in multiple layers to ensure perfect regristration.

WOW......the selection of very cool Skyhawks on this decal sheet is a pleasure to behold.  I like the fact you get USN birds, a USMC bird and even one painted up as an Iraqi bird.  No doubt about it, seeing this sheet would make anyone want to build a Skyhawk.
