A-4F Skyhawk VA 2-2 Ramparts Raiders by Rick Dom | AeroScale

A fantastic build of the A-4F Sky Hawk VA 212 Rampart Raiders from modelling friend Rick Dom. Cdr. Smith began flying combat missions in Southeast Asia off the aircraft carrier USS Hancock (CVA-19) in December 1965, took command of VA-212 in June 1966 and finished his first tour in June 1966 and finished his first tour in July 1966.

That’s a beautiful build. But the wrong type for the timeframe. VA-212 did not field the A-4F until late 1967, and did not return with the F to Vietnam until Jan. 1968.
