Can someone tell me who makes/made the aftermarket decal sheet for the
Skyraider. Im talking about the VA176 plane number 409 with the bee on the
rear fuselage. It's the same markings that come with the tamiya kit. Is
this sheet still available?
TIA Brian

MD9 is available through Twobobs for $5.40, if you're in the States. I
believe Aeromaster or someone did that plane in 1/48 on a US Nationals
sheet a few years ago, too.

Thank you all for your replies. Is the 1/48 sheet still available?

I thought Meteor Productions also did this aircraft in 1/48 (perhaps 1/72 as
well??). Meteor's has the proper orangish red lightning bolt as well.

_THAT'S_ who it was. Knew somebody did it. It's Cutting Edge 48096,
Skyraiders #2. Should still be available from Meteor.

That was the one I was trying to remember. Thanks, and thanks to all who
responded. Have ordered them.
