All,
I'm in the middle of planning a 1/6 Scale A-4 Skyhawk in Warpaint and
since I have room I was interested in providing accurate lighting if at
all possible. The obvious question would be
What type of Lighting was used on these ? I am guessing that wingtip
lights (Red and Green) and possibly strobes as well ? From the online
sources I've found it appears that there were multiple bulbs in each
wingtip. Also was there a rear strobe ? Landing Lights I have covered.
Some of the A-4's at Miramar did have Red Strobes atop the Fuse as well.
Any others ?
Any squadron lighting ?
Regards
Bill |

I would imagine the lights were made by Grimes, as they were (or
are) mainly military & airline suppliers. There would have been a
white nav light on the tail in addition to the red & green wingtip
lights. I'd be surpised if they used wingtip strobes in addition to
the red beacon/strobe on the fuselage. Maybe if you Google for Grimes
aircraft lighting.
