Douglas AD-4Q 124071 Fleet Composite Squadron VC-35 Night Hecklers

These are 1/72 scale decals for Douglas AD-4Q Skyraider 124071, assigned to Fleet Composite Squadron VC-35 — the "Night Hecklers" — wearing overall Gloss Sea Blue (ANA 623) with tail code NR and modex 75.

The AD-4Q was the dedicated electronic countermeasures variant of the Skyraider, carrying a second crewman in the rear fuselage to operate jamming and electronic warfare equipment. Where the standard Skyraider delivered ordnance, the AD-4Q delivered electronic disruption — jamming enemy radar and communications to protect strike packages and suppress defenses during night attack operations. In VC-35 service, the AD-4Q complemented the squadron's attack Skyraiders perfectly, combining the Night Hecklers' harassment mission with active electronic warfare to make the nocturnal threat even harder to counter.

VC-35, the "Night Hecklers," provided detachments to carrier air wings throughout the Korean War era, bringing specialized night attack and ECM capabilities that no individual squadron could maintain on its own. The overall Gloss Sea Blue finish, bold white "NR" tail code, and "NAVY VC-35" fuselage markings are identical in style to the squadron's AD-3 listing — a natural companion piece showing the full breadth of VC-35's Skyraider operations.

A great subject for any Korean War-era Navy, electronic warfare, or composite squadron collection. Please allow some time for decal printing and shipping.
