Kentavros76 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, This is my first post to Britmodeller. I have chosen to present a model I completed last year. It was an A-7E that I converted to A-7H of the Hellenic Air Force and specifically of the 336th Squadron "Olympus". I used Humbrol enamels for the typical SEA camouflage and the cockpit was the AIRES A-7E early cockpit that I managed to copy (I have quite a few A-7s in stock ). The wheels are also resin copies of the Italeri A-7D kit. The weapon load is a typical readiness configuration in the HAF and consists of 5 Mk84 general purpose bombs, 2 AIM-9P and one external fuel tank. All decals except roundels are homemade (printed on decal with laser printer) and RBFs are made from aluminium foil. I hope you like it! And a few on the small base I made. Take care everyone!

dashellis Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 WOW I could only dream of some of those excellent details, like the RBF tags in 1/48 let alone in 1/72nd that's a great model. Nice job on the paintwork too Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Great debut, smashed that one out of the park! Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Superb A-7H! The level of detail on this is awesome. It's all very very good but I especially like the overall finish, and those tiny cords holding the Sidewinder noddy caps in place. A top quality first post. Greek A-7's and Greek AF aircraft in general are amongst my favourite subjects. I have a number of 1/72 aircraft in my stash which are destined to be finished as Greek Air Force examples. A-7, F-4, F-84, F-102 and F-5. Welcome! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
