A Father's Day tribute to my father who flew the A-4 for the USMC from 1966-1977. I worked with Callie Graphics to get the same squadron VMA-121 he flew with in his tour of Vietnam including air support for the seige of Khe Sanh. The decals are so accurate that (1) the tail number 150092 matches the plane he flew on several occasions as we verified in his log book. (2) Capt Doug Walton and the 300 bomb decal appears as it did on his real jet.4 Photos

Fantastic post lwalton816 and welcome to HobbySquawk! Nothing beats customizing an aircraft than when you can attach that kind of history to it as well.
