Uncle Les Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Here's a little something I cracked the whip on last week. Basically wheels up OOB with the exception of a new scratch-built intake lip to make it curvier and a resin cockpit set. I loaded up the fuselage with magnets and will fashion a proper display stand at a later date.

Lothar Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 The model is equally impressive as your PS skills are. Excellent build and finish Lothar Martinnfb, Uncle Les and Daniel Leduc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grissom Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Very nice work, Les. I like the way you have weathered your model - looks really convincing, especially how you've dirtied up the airframe around the canopy but not the canopy framing, itself. The pilot figure also looks great. I'm not familiar with that kit and whether or not it comes with a pilot. Is it a kit pilot or an aftermarket one like Master Details jet pilot? Oh, by the way, you have disappointed me in one small way - you haven't included enough photos! Martinnfb and Uncle Les 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collin Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Freaking sweet!! I mean sweet! Can you expand a little on your improved intake? Cheers Collin Uncle Les and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircommando130 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Awesome! Another Desert Storm jet! Always liked the A-7...both AF and Navy! Great weathering and inflight displays are always so cool anyway. Cheers...Ron Martinnfb and Uncle Les 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Collin Nothing special, just FDM 3D printed up in ABS a slightly curvier piece and cajoled the intake lower lip into place. A little filler a load of sanding and replacement of the front sensors. Out2gtcha, Anthony in NZ, Martinnfb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
