VA-86 Sidewinders did fly the A-4 from the beginning and aboard the USS Randolph in a very striking scheme with orange leading edges. However, typical for early Skyhawks have been bare metal leading edges.
The
assortment of the fin colors of this A-4B is a guess. Since it is often
difficult to identify the CAG colors, You will find a color chip how things have
been sorted. Also a black/white chip may help You finding the correct colors.
Thank
you,
