Thanks. Glad you like it. I normally don’t do post-war aircraft but this kit was a gift. Must say it was a fun build though. |

Very sharp! You really captured the look of the mid to late 80's A-7s.

Looks beat just like the SLUF's from the late 80's should look

Well done. I've never forgiven Vought for turning the F-8 into the SLUF!

Well done. I've never forgiven Vought for turning the F-8 into the SLUF! To quote Han Solo, "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts." The A-7 was probably one of the best strike aircraft of its era by the A-7D and A-7E models. Long legs, survivable, smart avionics, lots of payload, and the ability to tangle in a close in fight with Migs if the day got too bad. Like the AU-1 from the F4U, Vought got it right again for a mud mover. |

Very cool. Every one of these I've ever seen IRL was beat down and dirty. Very well represented. Nice work.

That is a wonderfully done A-7. Excellent paint job with a hairy stick. Spot on weathering.

Nice work. I Built this kit myself a few years back in a hi-vis scheme. It's not a bad kit.
