Outstanding ! Injection or resin I'll take one Marauder please !

This is the first time trying to use any kind of forum at all. I'm 68 and not up to speed on what to do, like what button to use ?, how to reply to someone.? What's that icon for ? etc..... I guess it will be a learning curve I hope you can all excuse my mistakes I'll be making ! A little of my history. A+P mechanic since 1975, US Navy vet. Worked for Grumman Aerospace for 14 years building all versions of the F-14 Tomcats, A-6E Intruders, EA-6B prowlers, EF-111 Ravens and all the first version aircraft prototypes and all of Grumman's chase and research planes. It was easy to research a model kit of one of them, I just went to work ! Spent my later years working on private corporation jets, Gulf Streams, Hawkers, Lear's..etc.. Now retired and disabled ( I spend a lot of time at the VA Hospital, a fun place to waste time ) I can now build to hearts content ! I hope I can help fellow builders out there if I can ! Thank you again for a warm welcome to you all ! Joe M

Well, this is my first attempt at posting on the site ! Hello fellow plastic fanatics ! My first question is it worth building the 1/32 scale trumpeter A7E ? I read all the pro's and con's and still do not know. I worked on them when I was in the Navy for attack squadron VA-146. back in 1975. I have heard the kit intake is the wrong shape and needs the Zactoman correction part ? I'm also in dire search for Victory Productions decal sheet 1/32 scale A7E , sheet # VPD32001 ( OOP ), it has the markings of my plane right down to my pilots name on the cockpit ! Any idea's from you all, I'm going crazy looking for them ! Thank you guys for any help at all.
