MSRP: $ 15.00 Website: www.afterburnerdecals.com The TA-4J Skyhawk was a neat plane and had some of the most colorful markings found anywhere in its day. When Classic Airframes released their version of this kit, Afterburner Decals jumped at the chance to add some color to our lives. As has come to be expected from Afterburner Decals, these markings are well researched, printed in perfect register with excellent color representation and include markings for a total of seven TA-4J's: · VT-4, 1992 overall dark grey · TW-3, 1990 · VT-25, 1984, red/white with gold trim (CAG) · VT-25, 1982 red/white (CAG) · TW-2, 1982 red/white · VT-25, 1978 red/white (CAG) · VT-25, 1986, overall dark blue/gold trim –USN 75th Anniversary markings. These are designed to fit the Classic Airfames TA-4J and are beautifully done. I would think that this should also fit the new Hasegawa release also. Full color placement pictures are included with profiles also. Most definitely worthwhile addition to your decal stash. Many thanks to Scott Brown and Afterburner for the review samples.
