I am feeling some strong urges to tackle the Trumpeter A6=A in USMC Vietnam-era colors (land-based or carrier-based is equally OK).

 

If you're looking for USMC in Vietnam, you're in luck since every overall scheme of all four of the Marine A-6 squadrons are available in 1/32 decals:

Zotz has -533 in 1972-73

AOA has -225 in 1969-71, -242 in 1966-70, and -533 in 1967-69 & 1972-73 in sheet 32-001, and -224 in 1971-72 in sheet 32-009

 

Since you want USMC in Vietnam ERA and not necessarily Vietnam, there's also upcoming AOA sheet 32-029 that has three more -533 schemes in between their SEA deployments and also immediate post deployment.

I would prefer in country (or offshore). Thanks. That's amazing how complete the selection is.

Thanks Ziggyfoos!  

 

I will start with the decals and the seats.

I prefer (and got) AMS GRU-5 seats than Retrowings seats.

I also have Zotz and AOA decals sheets for 2 different Alphas. (1 with the standard arms)
