Hasegawa A-7D USAF 1/48
Hello!
This is my recent project, a nice kit of this iconic jet. It's an old toll, and it shows it in some ways, but it also can be built into a nice model . Except fot the canopy masks, everything OOB.
All my references showed these USAF birds, in the late eighties and early nineties were kept relatively clean, being the opposite of the Navy. So, the weathering was kept to a minimum.
All decals were fine.
Gunze paints and oils were used.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers!
You can't have enough photos of this great looking SLUF, George. Each pic shows the great highlights of your build, looks amazing.
Thank you!
You achieved a very nice look with that airflow streaking - great touch of just enough weathering to bring it to a very realistic look! Well done!
Thank you!
A superb achievement, George.
That camouflage including the weathering is great.
Also the detailing is of a very high standard.
Well done.
Thank you!
From build to paint, VERY well done. Special.
Thank you!
Outstanding work George!

Great build of one of my favorites

Nice work all the way around, from construction to final weathering, on this SLUF.
Thank you, Tom!

Brings back memories of the A-7s I worked on while in the Air Guard many years ago. They were kept pretty clean, the paint would get faded looking after a few years. One of the ones I worked on had an old repair to the fuselage, I was told it had been damaged in Vietnam war.
