Description
A3J-1 (A-5A) Vigilante. This set includes TWO full decal sheets that include markings for FIVE different birds! This is the decal set from my A3J-1 Conversion Kit (decals only; no resin parts included). Because of the large areas of International Orange or Dayglo Orange on some of the aircraft, I’m also including TWO huge sheets of painting templates you can transfer to your favorite masking material to make your painting chores extremely easy! Specific aircraft included are A-5A, BuNo 147858/NASA 858, NASA Flight Research Center (now Dryden Flight Research Center), Edwards AFB, for SST Program testing, 1962. A3J-1, BuNo 147856, Modex 856, Naval Weapons Evaluation Facility, Albuquerque, NM, for special weapons testing, 1961. A3J-1, BuNo 146697, Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River, MD, used for the first Vigilante landing on an aircraft carrier, the USS Saratoga, 22 July 1960. A-5A, BuNo 149295, AG/607, VAH-1 “Smokin’ Tigers,” USS Independence, 1963. A3J-1, BuNo 149283, AF/710, VAH-7 “Peacemakers of the Fleet,” USS Enterprise, 1963.
