Reini78 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 #18/2023 My dad´s US naval theme continues, this time with something more modern. Hasegawa´s A-7 kit, first released in 1987, this is the P14 kit from back then. Aires A-7 late seat, TwoBobs decals used which were very thin and tended to wrap and tear. Painted with Gunze H311 FS36622, Gunze H310 FS30219, and Tamiya XF-69 Nato Black.

Whereas the CO bird was painted in a greyish camo, the XO one became brownish. At least the CO plane in its new clothes took part in Operation Praying Mantis in April 1988, a clash with the Iranian Navy, don´t know about the XO plane. Later in 1988 "302" wore single grey again.

kapam Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Quite an unusual camouflage scheme (to me at any rate). Beautifully executed! Very impressive detailing and finishing skills. 👏👏👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
