Painting is also superb. Bravo Sir, you have a real winner here. Cheers, Chuck Chuck, you know how much appreciate a comment from a master modeller like you!!! Trully honored!!!

As a former A-7D maintainer at Myrtle Beach I can honestly say you've captured the SLUF in detail. Barry Barry, you were one of my ''check lists'' in this build with your A-7D model!! If you remember i contacted you some years ago regarding Harolds resin wheels for the model!!! (i finally end up using the new ones fron reskit, more detailed an a bit more accurate regarding the dimentions) I have also mentioned you at the post#1 of this thread!!! Thanks a lot for your help. really appreciate!! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Kalimera Zaxos! That model is one of the most beautiful I have seen (and one of my favourite Miras as well!). Well done, your hard work and efforts are inspiration to all of us. Derek zaxos345 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(we need a good 1/32 F-35A, although I do like the look of the newly announced Tamiya 1/48 kit). I have the Icarus 1/32 decals for the A-7, but no kit, so the Trumpeter 1/32 A-7 is most definitely on my 'want' list for my HAF collection, if I can find one at a reasonable price? (I am retired now, so do not now have any disposable income to talk about as far as my hobby is concerned ). Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Derek, you not only need the trumpeter A-7 but also the zacto's correction kit for it and a lot of patience in order to build it correctly!!! So you may chose to stick with the 1/48th old haasegawa kit!! John Edited September 30, 2022 by zaxos345 Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I blame you! lol ), although I also already have the Hasegawa and Hobbyboss 1/48 kits as well. I expect that I can easily correct the Trumpeter kit intake issues without the use of the excellent Zacto correction set (compared to the Trumpeter EE Lightning that I am working on, it should be a breeze!). Have a good day. Derek Anthony in NZ and zaxos345 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
