Reini78 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 After all the yellow wing subjects, it´s time for some more modern USN stuff. Gonna do a Hasegawa A-7 with TwoBobs decals, representing the XO aircraft of VA-22 in the second half of the 80ies, which received a special livery like the CO.

heloman1 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Wow, nice colour scheme choice. I took part in the Crusader-Corsair GB elsewhere on BM. The Hasegawa kit is a beauty, I'll follow your build with interest. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted July 8, 2023 Author Share Posted July 8, 2023 no good fit of the front "shoulder" part to the fuselage, the shape of the outer corners is slightly different to the fuselage, so there´s a step DSC_0005 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0006 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0007 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthViper only sanded and filled the mold ejector areas, did nothing with the seams between the intake halves, hard to correct/fill these long ones depending on how visible they are in the end, bought the two part self adhesive vinyl intake cover from Steel Beach accessoires 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 some more decal progress the decals are very thin and tend to wrap or tear during applying, had to puzzle together the red cock on both sides Besides that, although my good old dad has lots of experience, sometimes he doesn´t pay attention. The tail code for the left side was printed upside down on the decal sheet. My dad applied it that way.....but four eyes see more than two. When I realized his mistake and told him, luckily he could turn the decal into the correct position because he hadn´t treated it yet with Mikro Sol.
