Thank you friend warlock0322 for your link It's very useful for my, but I want to know if there is some person that has pictures of the A-4E real Bo.Nu. 150023 to detail my models in these moments I'm arming two A-4E Hasegawa 1/48 with two of the scheme of Aggressive Scooters of USN and USMC A-4's that brings the decals sheet of Gekko Graphics GG48-003.

I hope some person can help me with this
All best.

By looking at the decals or the box can you tell which specific Squadron the planes are from. Like a VA of VMAF number. I might be able to scrounch some pics off the net if I used that as a search.
But getting a picture of a particular A/C by the Bu No may be a little tricky, but I will see what I can do.

Dear friend, I ignore the specific squadron number of the VA and VMAF
the planes are from, I can only tell you that they belong to the group of A-4 Adversary of the Top Gun at Miramar Naval Air Station "United States Figther Weapons School".

You know that this A-4E (Bo.Nu.150023) has worn 6 different paints schemes in its career, here is another of their scheme: (Soviet scheme)




Cheers

I checked my refernces on Aggressors squadrons as well as NAS MIramar and NAS Fallon and could not ID that particaulr Bu No. I also looked at sevearla A-4 decal sheets and couldn't find that number either. Realistically, you could use any scheme you wanted that matched your decals and no one would be the wiser.
As far as armament, per se, you'd need to leave these birds clean except maybe for a sensor pod as these were used strictly for adversary training purposes in these colors.

AL's right. The primary armament of these scooters was a pod. but we also use the inert sidewinder missle motors with the live seeker heads. The pilots could not fire the missle but would still get lock on and tone. Usually two of them one on each side to balance the aircraft.
Hope this helps
