discussion A-7D Corsair II

[Guest]

Hi guys. Well this is going to be my next build. It is trumpeters 1/32 A-7D. Picked it up quite cheap at a show recently. Didn't realize how big it was though. LOL. Will be built mostly out of the box, maybe some additions if i feel the need. I must say I love any aircraft in the south east asia scheme. Much better than gray. Will be taking my time with this build to make sure it looks the part.

Cheers

Kresten

Nice subject Kresten. A bird of unusual looks which I like ! However I think I might have to limit myself to a 1:72.

Hi all. Well the pit is finished. Think it turned out alright. Bit hard to see the gauges though. Oh well most of it will probably be hidden anyway. Comments welcome.

Cheers

Hi guys just after some help with filling in the gaps inside the intake trunk, not really sure how to go about it.

 

[saguy]

Hi kresten ... maye a silly question but the detail on the cockpit is quite amazing with the dials, buttons, controls etc - is this decals, or do u hand paint or .....?? rgds

Hi Lindsey. No stupid questions here mate. It is all hand painted. Just takes a bit of time and a steady hand. I have attached a pic of the intake and what i need to fill, any help much appreciated.

Cheers

For the seam, try very thin super glue. I use 'zap a gap' and it will need a few goes to get it anywhere nearly smooth.

I like this aircraft but want the A6 intruder a 2 seater side by side there is a film about it bombing Hanoi flying over the city 3 times cos the pilot couldn't see the target.

Will be watching

Are you thinking of the film 'Flight of the Intruder', the adaptation of the Steven Coonts book Martin?

 

[Vaughan]

A very good start Kresten some fantastic detail in the office. By the way what harnesses are you using? did they come with the kit?
