Caracal Models CD48045 - US Navy A-3B Skywarrior - Part 2)

Our second decal sheet for the new 1/48 Trumpeter A3D-2 kit is centered on the A-3B / KA-3B bomber/tanker variants of the Skywarrior, with particular emphasis on its Vietnam War service.

The options on this decal sheet are:

  • US Navy A-3B, VAH-11, USS Roosevelt, 1963
  • US Navy KA-3B, VAH-10, USS Forrestal, 1967
  • US Navy KA-3B, VAH-10, USS Shangri-La, 1970
  • US Navy KA-3B, VAH-10, USS Hancock, 1969
  • US Navy KA-3B, VAH-4, USS Bon Homme Richard, 1967
  • US Navy KA-3B, VAQ-308, NAS Alameda, 1978
  • US Navy KA-3B, VAQ-308, NAS Alameda, 1977

Note that all the options on this decal sheet depict aircraft with the later "speed nose" radome; and most also require the buddy refueling pod. These parts are not included in the Trumpeter early A3D-2 kit (Trumpeter has announced a KA-3B boxing for January 2014). We recommend the resin KA-3B conversion set produced by Steel Beach (available at Sprue Bros.)

Basic stencilling and fuselage-wing walkways (which are not provided on the kit decal sheet) are included. All of the sheets in this set are professionally screen printed by Cartograf in Italy.
