Looking at the Pete's site to see the F-4's listed for preorder, I also noticed that they list a new A-4 Skyhawk, namely: VMA-311 ""Tomcats"" Sept. 1978 ""159473"", McDonnell Douglas A-4M Skyhawk. I had not seen this one announced on Hawkonevoodoo's site---maybe I missed it. If this is the scheme I think it is, it is a two color, gray over white A-4 with a cartoon "tomcat" on the tail. It should be very attractive.

This scheme was going to be release number 2 or 3 and then for some unknown reason it was dropped from the line up. It may have been re-scheduled to a later date but as far as I know that date hasn't been announced yet.

Thanks for that bit of information. For all I know, Pete's has had that Skyhawk for preorder for months. I just now noticed it there as this was the first time I have been to their site.

That being said, it would make for a very attractive scheme on a USMC A-$M Skyhawk, so I hope it does end up back on the future release list.
