I'm looking for some 1/72 USMC decals for an A-4 in 50's - 60's gull gray over white scheme.  A partial sheet would be acceptable.  I've got some decals I can trade or will pay a reasonable price.

Thanks,
Ed

Hello Ed, I might have some decals that fit your description, I will have a look later for you and see what I have. They will be the high vis ones yes?

Chris, yes, the Hi-vis would be perfect.

Hello Ed,
I havn't forgotten about the decals, the ones I have are hi-vis A-7 decals, but I think they may be of a newer era than what you are looking for.
I think I only have newer hi viz stuff looking at my decal stash, but if they are ok I might be able to cobble something together for you.
Is there any specific decals you need that I may have comparable stuff of? I have some hi-viz roundels from an A-7D and a F-14 D, and I have some hi-viz ov-10 bronco decals.
Let me know if any of these are of use to you, I did have a load more of hi-viz stuff but I mus have traded it. I will keep looking for stuff though.

Thanks, Chris.

I have plenty of Navy hi-vis markings.  I need some Marine markings.  Pretty much this means A-4 as that was their primary attack plane of the 60's.

Nothing specific.  I want to do my Turboprop Corsair in gull gray over white and need some Marine decals from the 60's.  Since they pretty much used the A-4, I figure some of them would work.

All I have are the TOP GUN AGGRESSORS A-4s in that scale.

I'll scan some stuff and email you a bit later........

These are not exactly what you're looking for, but I have the Marine decals from the Tamiya F4D Skyray.  The markings are for two VMF- units, but they should have most of the markings you'd be looking for.

Ed, all of my 1/72 stuff is USN.  I coulda sworn I had some Corps markings but looks like those are 1/48 and lo-vis for that matter.  Sorry dude.

Ed,
Let me check my bin, could be something USMC in there but no promises.

Sorry Ed, I too have brought you a crock full of false hope. All my hi-viz marines stuff has gone,to a guy off scale modelling. If you decided on a different paint scheme, I have some OV-10 A Markings that could do the job. the roundels are high viz but small ones.

Thanks for checking guys.  I appreciate the effort.  Sounds like we all have a lot of Navy stuff or Marine Lo vis.
