Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I think STGB as the SLUF was just a shortened version of the Crusader, the wing was solid and optimized for ground attack. “The A-7 was developed during the early 1960s as replacement for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Its design was derived from the Vought F-8 Crusader; in comparison with the F-8, the A-7 is both smaller and restricted to subsonic speeds, its airframe being simpler and cheaper to produce.” Essentially the YA-7F was supposed to re-extend the fuselage for better air to air capabilities. “YA-7F Strikefighter (A-7D Plus) Stretched, supersonic version of A-7 powered by an F100, optimized for interdiction role, but cancelled after two prototypes were built.” At least these are my opinions, want a co-host ?

JosephLalor Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I'd be up for this one; I'm thinking in terms of a blue Aeronavale Crusader. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 How am I supposed to cut back on my GB/STGB commitments when you keep coming up with such good ideas for them?😁 I really enjoyed building Monogram's F-8 for the mud movers GB so I am more than happy to build another, or the Hasegawa F-8J I have, or the Hasegawa A-7D, or the HobbyBoss TA-7... anyway you get the picture. 🇺🇦 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I just so happen to have a not-so-nice resin kit of the F8U-3 Crusader III. This could be an excuse to actually build it. Hmm... Cheers, Bill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_W Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Paul, Sign me up for an F-8. I have been meaning to build one for some time and this is the excuse. Stupidly, I have been eyeing a 1/48 Hasegawa (yes Hasegawa) on a shelf at a LHS (right beside the rocking horse) saying to myself don't do it. My current dictum is "Thou shall not increase thy stash". Of course, now it's gone. Having since checked the private sale market I thought I should of bought it anyway. Oh well, now we're on the hunt. If ever there was an excuse to go 1/32 and go Trumpeter this is it. Let's test my 1/48 discipline. STOP PRESS: I just read this on www.1999.co.jp Hasegawa's 07225 PT25 Late Aug re-release (Jun. 1, 2022 Pre-order start.) I'm in. Ray 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
