Mark22 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi, This is my recently completed 1/72 Hobby Boss A-7A Corsair II. They are a few errors and omissions, but I'm going to call it done. Painted with Vallejo Model Air, followed by Tamiya clear and then a final coat of Tamiya flat. I used Tamiya Grey wash for the panel lines. In general, the Hobby Boss kit goes together well, although I found getting all the gear doors on a bit challenging. Hobby Boss does have a lot of rivets. There are hardly noticeable on the real planes, but add a bit of character to the model. This is the first A-7 I've built, but possibly not the last. I'm thinking that I may do a US Air Force version with camouflage. Maybe a 1/72 Fujimi A-7 if I can find one. Mark 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Very nice indeed. Some great, subtle panel line highlighting. Oh for the days when military aircraft had a bit of colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fit of the Hobby Boss kit is quite good. No putty required. Decals are of very good quality. Nice thing about the A-7 is that it comes in many colorful Navy schemes, which are available as aftermarket decals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Like what everyone else has said - really nice. Corsairs have a certain 'something' that you have captured rather well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
