The aircraft provided in this decal set include:

  1. A-6E TRAM, 160995, VA-65, AG/500, USS Dwight D Eisenhower, 1981/82, CAG
  2. A-6E TRAM, 161675, VA-65, AJ/500, USS Theodore Roosevelt, 1990/91, CAG
  3. A-6E TRAM, 155620, VA-65, AJ/503, USS Theodore Roosevelt, 1990/91
  4. A-6E TRAM, 159314, VA-65, AJ/511, USS Theodore Roosevelt, 1990/91

Many modelers have sought the Desert Storm sand/brown markings and here they are. This set features that aircraft! This set provides all of the national and distinctive markings for these aircraft (sufficient for one model) as well as the major airframe stencils. The instructions provide extensive details and notes to help you get the Trumpeter kit looking just right.

My sincere thanks to AOA Decals for this review sample!
