WIP - A-7D Corsair II
Chosen armament.
Sanding, puttying, priming all over again.
Engine exhaust cover is a disaster...
...as well as exhaust itself.
Not better with air duct.
And air intake.
Finally Aires set arrived. I tried to fit whell wells, so I had to cut some of the plastic, but it looks promising.
I had to get rid also the imitation of front well from the air intake.
I cut also some to the parts in the exhaust cover. I will try to do them from the proper size piece of HIPS.
Air intake was painted before gluing as later I wouldn't be able to paint it properly.
It will be hard to sand this putty.
I've upgraded a canon as kit's one was terrible.
And started shading bombs and missiles
as well as resin parts.
Resin wheel and electronic bays glued in place.
Instrument panel.
Gun.
Cockpit.
Ejection seat.
Exhaust cover.
Cockpit glued.
Intake.
Top view.
Issues on the bottom side.
After some corrections.
Had to glue canopy.
Gaps were filled with styrene pieces and putty.
Sandin in progress.
Big mouth almost ready.
Finally all done. Sanded and rescribed.

Stefan - Welcome aboard.
John - Thanks. While unboxing model I was saying to myself, do it easy, simple, without any modification. Just Out of the Box. Next day I was checking Scalemates for possible upgrades and it llooks like it will be another long build.😉

Kurt, Christian, Gareth, Clifford - It is nice nice to have such audience. 😄
Probably project will slow down a little bit as I put my hands on Patriot from Trumpeter so I have to share time between those two models. BUt I promise I will try to update it as often as possible. 😉

Welcome aboard Bryn. Model unfortunately is bad. Maybe not as much as A-10 but most of the main parts just do not fit. I have to bend them, use a lot of CA glue with accelerator to glue them in place correctly. Disaster. I hope when finally I do fuselage, it will be easier. I hope.

Nice progress on this beast... cockpit looks the deal... What nation will it belong to? or will you go for a deep down and dirty Hellenic one?

Thank you Bart. Honestly, I'm not sure. I was looking for some interesting camo - so if you have some photos, please let me know.

do you like showbirds or more deep down and dirty?
[img1] (I think this is an E instead of a H due to the IFR-probe, but it gives an idea of the weathering)

Thank you - I hoped that it's over but one of the folks on polish model forum posted that I shoud add some dirt at the bottom, especially on fuel tanks and fuselage.
I'm doing this so I will upload picture tomorrow.

That is a splendid A-7. It always amazes me how much ordnance these birds could carry.

I hesitate.... Is it too nice so I stop modelling or is it too inspiring so I keep modelling ? 😉

Thank you guys - I'm very happy that you like it 🙂
Time to plan next one - I'm afraid it will be tough choice to make.

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.

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
