Popular Post doxasg Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 Hi all, again... Here are some pictures of my TA-7C CORSAIR, in Hellenic Air Force duty. It’s a kit from Hobby Boss, in scale 1/48. I’ve included Aires detail set for the cockpit. The ejection seats SJU-11/A & SJU-12/A of the kit΄s cockpit are replaced with two seats from Aires detail set. Also I΄ve included Eduard Detail Set for A-7E and Aires Detail Set for Wheel Bay. I scratch-building the tail section and the brake chute housing, the air starter receptacle panel, the gun gas purge door and the pilots steps ladder in open position left rear of the fuselage, the battery inspection panel rear right of the fuselage and below a strike camera K18B and a central speed break. Also I corrected the air intake shame from the model. The model is painted in “SEA” camo (FS 34102), (FS 34079), (FS 30219) and (FS 36622), using colors provided by the ModelMaster and it finished with extensive weathering. Decal sets are from Icarus Decals, representing a TA-7C (336 squadron) in Hellenic Air Force duty. I hope you enjoy my model. Happy modeling to all!

Baldy Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Stunning model Giannis - I enjoy it very much. Superb detailing and finish and the weathering looks great - those birds did look very worn! How did you correct the awful intake area in the kit? Cheers Malcolm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkom first of all I replaced the front part of intake area with ones (same part) of Hasegawa, as photos below. Then I applyed and formed milliput in the low part of Hasegawa΄s intake part area and brought it in correct shape. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain goat Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The level of realism and the crispness of the detail is really top level. Moreover the paintwork and finish as well as the realistic weathering make this model great. The pictures are worthy of closer study. I am amazed.

Electric Indigo Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The extensive fading that seems to be a signature look of the Hellenic forces (no offense) is captured perfectly! Great work on all the tiny details, too. An outdoor shot would be eye-popping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Giannas, you’re attention to detail is superb!!!! One would be hard pressed to find any faults with this “Twosair”. Yes, it`s THAT GOOD!!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad-4N Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Amazing. You could give a masterclass on Hellenic weathering. And full marks for adapting the Hasegawa nose to the HB kit. That had to be a handful. How HB screwed up the nose and canopy on such a well-documented machine is one of the top five modelling mysteries of the early 21st Century. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
