Silverstone 2 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Here is some photos, of the very recently completed 1/32 A-7E My apologies for not taking more photos during the build, this was mainly due to not having the correct setup until now. The current builds: 1/24 Vb Spitfire (commission) and the 1/32 F-14A and all future projects,will all have more info and pictures. My stash is getting quite big now and i'm also starting some AFV builds very soon. I've got 3 Tigers, including the 1/16 King Tiger in the pipeline and the HK 1/32 B-17G. So there will be a lot of threads appearing soon. VA-22 (USS Enterprise) LOW-VIS camo with AIRDOC decals: I'll take more photos tomorrow when I have better light.

Silverstone 2 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 The A-7E goes together really well, no problems on any of the large pieces. Fit is good all round with minimal clean-up and small amounts of filler required. I think Trumpeter has improved considerably over the years although I think this kit is almost 10 years old now? To achieve a seamless intake at the front is not too hard either, just careful prep and the right sanding tools. The F-14A from Tamiya has it's issues especially when it come to intakes, again though this is 20 years + Really goes to show how technology has been improving. I'm looking forward to building the F-16C. AIRDOC decals on the A-7, I have to say are a must though. Stock decals aren't the best looking IMO.

SaintsPhil Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thank you sir, I want to try a big kit as some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstone 2 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 The Airfix 1/24 Mosquito is a superb bit of engineering, goes together effortlessly. Although too big, I'm going to be doing a Tamiya 1/48 version soon for a commission build. The new Tamiya Spitfire, P-15, F4-u and Zero are all extremely precise fit too.
