Vought A-7 Corsair II

Neuling Very nice diorama!

Spanjaard Very nice indeed.... i do need to get a Corsair one day.... I did one ages ago too. Not my best kit ever

Łukasz Gliński Lovely set

Elias Korompilis Thank you!

Alex K OK, I simply LOVE the little blue Pony! (well, the Corsair isn't bad either...)

James C Very nice work

Clifford Keesler Very nice A-7.

Daniel Great job, very realistic look achieved

Neuling I agree with everyone above!

James C Thanks Jeremy

Slavo Hazucha Looking very fancy basking in the NZ Sun. The top pic on the black table being my fav as usual Nice job - glad to see a full-color navy pattern nice & clean

valiente84 Good job, congratulations!

James C Thanks Slavo & Valiente84

I'm considering doing the Italeri F-14 next

Lode Schildermans James, a flawless build, viewed from my side. The details, paints and decals are son nice that in another background set, as on a carrier, one wouldn't belive it is a scale model

James C Thanks mate

Clifford Keesler James. Well done.Very nice A-7

James C Thanks Clifford

arne vd burg vet!!!

Heico van der Heide Thnx Arne!

Adam Iskandar Hello! I have this kit, but 2nd hand and didn't come with instructions, do you mind sending me the instructions? (the Barn Owls A-7B)

Treehugger What is the trick for making the bomb casing surfaces looking rough?

JOHN THOMAS Nice work

Tomaz Klemencic I applied Mr. Surfacer 500 with a stiff brush. Dabbed with a brush while it was drying.

Neuling Good looking build!

playtime 222 Nice hint!

Martin Oostrom

Patrick Hagelstein Wow! That is some dedicated black basing! Awesome! Can't wait to see the actual color on.

Nick Kiriokos O.M.G. Impressive!

Maciej Bellos Great work there in the details and very nice painting!

Adam Gudynowski Excellent Marek!

Soeren . Amazing work so far!

Gordon Sørensen Looking great, Marek! The paint modulation and panel definition is very well done!

Palo M Looking great, following.

Calvin Gifford I got extra A-7A/B decals if you want to do something besides the kit choices.

Oliver Trautmann Sounds good, any Greek markings?

Patrick Hagelstein Oooooh! A Hobby Boss A-&! I'm in!

Sergej I Innn!

James Skalicky Thank you! This kit is almost building itself, the parts fit very well. Sadly, the very nice resin cockpit cannot be seen with the canopy closed the way I am building it.

Oleg Bogolei Waiting for the in progress pictures)

Patrick Hagelstein Me too!

Andy Hall Looking for old Matchbox Kits in the UK....

Marcel Chmura Fantastic looking job.

Faraz Anwar Thank you Marcel

Slavo Hazucha One scale larger, but all the more inspiring: Youtube Video

Palo M I added them all to the wishlist just because of the beautiful color scheme. But this video convinces me that the plane I always considered so ugly looks impressive as a model. Looking forward to building the cold war US navy planes.

Palo M But only once I finish what is already "on the workbench".

Slavo Hazucha Lovely colors and subtle Star&stripes markings - way to go

Patrick Hagelstein That's a really interesting video! I like the way he uses that LED light to mask the clear parts and the way he folds the tape for that soft demarcation.

Maciej Bellos Following.

Patrick Hagelstein Me too!

Oleg Bogolei following

Maciej Bellos In!

Stephan H. Have fun. That is an excellent kit. I enjoyed mine a lot, few years ago.

Michael Hickey What a stunning build of the SLUF, well done.

Przemek Przybulewski Thank you Daniel and Micheal.
Spanjaard - yes, too much planes to choose
Scott - we can make a survey however looking at the stash I thought about F-117A. Not too much parts but quite challenging painting.

Bart Goesaert nice choise, then the Mig-21?

Neuling Professional work.

Scott Dutton My vote would be SA-8 Gecko or the Meng Buk or ZSU-23-4. I'm still waiting for mine. Whatever you choose will be stunning I know

Alexander G. That's one heavily used Corsair!

JOHN THOMAS Very nice A-7D

Przemek Przybulewski Thanks. I think model is completed - I've just uploaded some final photos.
Thank you all for watching and comments.

Ron Garcia As with the other three Hasegawa A-7s I completed, the build was easy. Recommended.

Ron Garcia Used these to complete an A-7 in Colorado ANG livery. Nice decals but extremely thin. There are so many decals on the sheet they are practically touching so cutting out the correct ones took care. The instructions are practically worthless as they just show a general area where the decals go. However, I now have a Colorado ANG A-7.

Alex does this help? 1999.co.jp/eng/10055825

Aris aka Amen Yes! That was i looking for. Thank you Alex.

Ron Garcia Easy build. Paint job was even easier - all grey. The two part fin stripe was tricky. I knew it would have a gap so matching paint to the decal color took some paint mixing to come up with a similar shade. Recommended.

Ron Garcia See comments under A-7E VA-122 Bicentennial for build comments. Decals way easier for this kit. Recommended except for the fact that only two Sidewinders are included. Tons of ordinance is a must for an A-7. Unfortunately, you have to accept that with Hasegawa kits.

ANASTASIOS VITSENTZATOS Hello.Do you have the instructions manual from this kit??

Houw Unfortunatly not.

Ron Garcia First of four Hasegawa A-7s I've been working on. Chose this one first because it didn't require weapons. Pretty easy build. Connecting the wing assembly to the fuselage took time to fiddle with to get it to sit well. Knew the front bicentennial stars and stripes decal would be tough to apply due to all the protrusions at the front of the aircraft. Lots of setting solution got it snuggle pretty well but left a gap underneath. Needed paint to "connect" it. Anyone with a few aircraft kits under their belts should have no problem with this kit.

Patrick Hagelstein Nice too!!!

Adam Gudynowski I have exactly the same in my stash. What armament are you going to use?

Michael Phillips Welcome Patrick and Adam!

Adam, I haven't decided yet what ordinance I will use. I will probably investigate that as I near this project. What about you?

Adam Gudynowski I wilk use just pair of AIM-9 and empty ejector racks from Eduard.

Michael Phillips Nice! I Like your empty ejector rack idea. But I think I will have this thing lugging some iron, for sure. I think I will also do the Sidewinders too. Two tanks as well. Might build this one in-flight also.

Sarunas D Looking forward to this build.

Francesco Hello, please can someone upload instruction for this model? Thank you

Adam Farnsworth Eduard have brought out a new Crusader kit which looks great!
https://eduard.com/store/eduard/crusader-1-48.html

Greg Jones Looks good, might have to look out for one going cheap on ebay!

Soeren . The kit itself isnt new. Maybe you find the Hasegawa kit cheaper somewhere.

Ekki Any pics?

Christos Stavroulis Sorry no.

Ekki Shame.

Marc Schubert Great deal for me. I got the Hasegawa kit and the Revell kit in just one box for a very reasonable price.

Michael Phillips That is a fantastic Corsair Rob!!!! I am building the Hasegawa A-7 in that very same scheme next. This gives me much inspiration.

Well done!

Kees Kleijwegt I believe I have a spare of this one. Will have a look

Erik Leijdens That would be great Kees! Sure we can make a deal

Torben Ke Great! I currently build USS TICONDEROGA during her 1969 deployment in 1:350 scale. Count me in.

Stephan Ryll You´re welcome Torben take a seat

Stephan Ryll Hi Torben,
I've finished the "bomb truck "

You will find the Album here

Torben Ke Great! Thank you

Clifford Keesler Now Augie, you know we don't talk about the bin. LOL. Remember "I" will never surrender.

Choppa Nutta ........... well it is the first rule of "Model Club",
we don't talk about the bin !! Haha

Augie lol true, there is never too buggered to repair.. this was probably the closest I have come to binning a kit.

Choppa Nutta If you ever ruin a kit beyond redemption for any reason at the very least it makes for a good test bed for new techniques you might want to experiment with etc.

or... one could make it into a derelict or a crashed example for some mini diorama fun etc.
(or a bit of "Scratch'n'Bash" )

Vitor Costa Hello my friend.
Glad to see you back

Kelly Wellington Yes, It's good to see you again, Augie.

I never talk about the bin....but I have been known to refer to 'toy quality', meaning it is bound for some child to play with.

Augie hehe thanks guys, this one is is an older one, before the gnat if i recall correctly

Choppa Nutta Lol Kelly !
"Never talk about the bin but the toy box is A-Ok"
