A-7A Paint question.
Posted by Matt-Joachim on Sunday, July 27, 2014 5:28 AM

The upper half has en painted gray. and the lower half is white. However the refueling boom i locaated on the grey section and it calls for it to e painted white. I think it would look good and i'm not sure if they are correct. I cannot find any pics of it in that color. What color should i paint the boom? White or grey?

The external IFR boom will be gray, or whatever color the fuselage is. An internal IFR boom, like on the F-14 Tomcat is white, and sometimes even red, as on the Legacy F-18's.

O man I wish you would have seen this earlier. I went with white just so it out stand out more. At least it matches the lower half!
