Nice idea and nice work so far. I’m wondering after you posted the E-2C and you mentioned creating the decals for that particular scheme, what stopped you from creating correct timeframe decals for the A-7 & S-3?
Great idea, what you have built so far looks great
The decal sets for VA-37 and VS-29 (A-7 and S-3) have the correct paint scheme, Just the ship name and CAG/CVW group designations are from the squadrons normal attachment. When we started the world cruise, all the squadrons were done in the Hi-Vis paint scheme but by the end of the cruise many planes were re-painted to the Lo-Vis scheme.
Great builds, Wolfman.
FINALLY! I have completed the last aircraft completing on 1/48 scale aircraft for every squadron on the USS Carl Vinson for it’s 1983 world cruise.
Here is the F-14 from VF-111:
I scrolled back and see I forgot to post the pictures of the A-7 From VA-105. (Ooops)
So here is the A-7 from VA-105 (CAG bird)
That is quite a collection of very well built models.[B] My faves are the two Tomcats, mostly cause that is my favorite modern jet.
Niceley done sir and thank you for your service.
An assemblage of air power! All of them a welcome addition to any model collection. Well done!

Here is the last picture. Shows all the aircraft together.
Fantastic work! Will you take them as a display to a show?
Very impressive display!
