Hi, Had this Hasegawa Corsair kit for ages, had no intention of doing it in this scheme, then remembered that the "A's" didnt carry allover grey!! So, reluctantly built OOB, very basic kit, some of the fitting was awful, and other bits went together superbly!! Finished using the Vallejo "US Navy colors 70 to present" set. No weathering, which made a nice change! The decals were a bit of a pain, maybe due to sitting in theat box for so long Anyway, a few pics: Hasegawa 1.72 A-7A 152675-3 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr Hasegawa 1.72 A-7A 152675-5 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr Hasegawa 1.72 A-7A 152675-6 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr Hasegawa 1.72 A-7A 152675-1 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr Hasegawa 1.72 A-7A 152675-7 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr Thanks for looking Jon

Great build, looks absolutely spot on. Love it with the F1

Wow!!! That is an incredible build, looks absolutely stunning

Yeah theres not too much to see nowadays is there?

Hi, Video of the Swiss Air Force F/A-18s and others at RAF Leeming, during "Exercise Yorknite" on Tuesday 23rd of November 2021, as taken by my youngest, Alex! Removed - Link Cheers Jon

Hi, Decided to take a quick trip over to EGUN before the Qatari F-15s headed back, weather was awful, but theyre in the book Shame theyre parked over the far side, but better than nothing i suppose F-15QA 17-0015 RAF Mildenhall 14.11.21-3 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr F-15QA 17-0006 + 17-0013 + 17-0014 + 17-0015 RAF Mildenhall 14.11.21-1 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr A few of the locals for good measure KC-135R 61-0292 RAF Mildenhall 14.11.21 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr KC-135R 63-8008 RAF Mildenhall 14.11.21-1 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr KC-135R 61-0315 RAF Mildenhall 14.11.21 by Jonathan Francis, on Flickr Thanks for looking Jon

Hi, Completed this Hasegawa 1:72 F-16A Plus. Finished as J-636 of the Royal Netherlands Air Force, vaguely as i saw it at the 2002 RAF Waddington Airshow. Airbrushed using Vallejo Air War USAF Colors "Gray schemes" 70's to present, and Mr Color smoke grey for the cockpit, which is a nice colour but shows up the blemishes in the cockpit!! The Decals were a tad temperamental, so the spine one for the refuelling is a little off, but wouldnt budge!! May have to source a replacement pitot tube, and just noticed is still havent actually fixed the horizontal stabilizers in place!!
