John,

 

This model is pure eye candy from every angle and your weathering is excellent- especially the bombs.  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!!!

Looks fantastic in every aspect!

 

As a former A-7D maintainer at Myrtle Beach I can honestly say you've captured the SLUF in detail.

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!!

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.

So do I John!  (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, 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!!

Hi John,

 

I have just ordered the 1/32 Trumpeter A-7E as a Christmas present! (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.
