I have to say, you've really put my effort with this kit to shame, what a brilliant job you've made of the camo paint, there looks a lot of effort into getting such a great finish

I am sure yours isn´t that,and this one of mine isn´t good at all but for the camo.

 

All the best!

Nice.  I built the ESCI kit as a D model.  Did you find the cockpit a bit on the wide side?  I thought the seat was a bit ridiculous and replaced it but the new one seemed to rattle about in there.  Very nice paint job, look great.  Always good to see an older kit finished well.

This is one of the model´s problems,for there´s some putty to fix it from a D to an E...I only built this model because,as I purchased it for its decals,I had to avoid making it go to the spares box...so I chose an operational version and determined it was to be an OOB,or too much it would need to be a decent A-7E...

 

All the best,

Love the build and the paint, I am very impressed that you got that standard out of a kit that was first released in 1978 👍
