Virtavia A-6 Repaints

Thought I would start a thread instead of cluttering up the Screen Shots thread with comments and replies.

OK, so here are some screenies of my VA-35 repaint from circa 1969 aboard USS Coral Sea on their WESPAC cruise. Again, it is an A_6E all dressed up like an A-6A. It's essentially complete I just will not have time to package it up until early next week. I will also be doing another VA-35 bird, however this time it will be circa 1973 aboard Nimitz and it will actually be an A-6E paint! Anyway, more to come.

Beautiful job. Makes me want to resurrect the VLSO and USS America, CVA-66 but I just haven't got the skill any longer to "land on the boat" even the COD so I'll just fly my Skyhawk on the "terra firma" LOL! That's why the Navy has no 77 year old carrier pilots. Even the admirals at the Pentagon aren't that old any more.
