CTA, I thought you were going for Chicago Transit Authority.

*laughs* Due to my early childhood experiences in and around Chicago, so did I! :D
Some of these look like data I've been looking for, so I'll be going for the 1/72 set. With this and the old AMT boxing of the RA-5C, I'll be able to model three of the four camouflaged ones trialed over Vietnam.

Purchased a 1/72 set of "Welcome to the Jungle" on eBay. I'll review it when I receive it.

Thanks for taking one for the team Evan. ;)
Wolfpak did a few of these camo birds but this is a much better selection.

Painted my F-15E like some of those schemes years ago. My A-10 got the treatment too

Well, I've also got a F-4B kit that I wanted to build as a F-4G (first use of the designation) and this works for that, too. I'll have to check if Wolfpack Decals does a camo Viggie, too, and see if it's one on this set. If it isn't, I'll definitely be purchasing it to complete the set of camo RA-5C's. :)

Well, I got the set and I have a bone to pick with the supplier, I only received the first sheet of the instructions, not the second sheet with the top views.
Also, ironically, one of these Vigi's is the same one as on an OOP Wolfpak decal set and as on the original AMT decals, both Wolfpak and CTA are more accurate than AMT in some respects. I've got the BuNo of at least one other camo Vigi so I may still try that one.
Other than the aforementioned problem, the decals themselves look good and came soundly packed from Russia in good time. I'll let y'all know how resolving the problem works out.
4/11 Correction: The perils of reviewing when tired, the instructions are printed double-sided and everything was there. The communication from the supplier was swift and polite. I can definitely recommend these decals and I'll certainly check out their other sheets. *chuckle* I'll probably purchase a couple more of this set just to have the spare decals necessary to do the other camo Vigi's.

Not exactly at you but I am looking in your direction. I can do this as the world is flat.

It's the same general direction as me, too. ;)

There must be something to it! They have a rapper & a gormless dis-organised git supporting them!
