Won this kit last year at Go Modelling. Intended to sell it first because US navy is not my subject. But after a close look on it and the good impression ( surface details, open hatches, ordenance) I decided to build it. I hope that the kit will not dissapoint me regarding fit. I intend to present it on a small diorama which I still have in mind. Details about this will be told in a later stage.

Hi Mates,
I am looking for fotos that display the exhaust cover used on parked A-7; the fotos I found where not satisfying. Any hints?
