Nice to see a modern warplane spruced up a bit with a colorful addition to the paint scheme other than the plain sea grey and white camo for a change. Very well done.

I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

Love that scheme! Hobby Lobby is clearing it's A-7s out. Maybe it's time to try one.

I added another Bicentennial scheme to the collection. This is the old Monogram A-7A. I upgraded it a bit by adding landing gear, doors, wheels, tailhook, IFR probe and stabs from a derelict Hasegawa kit. I also added Sidewinder rails from a Monogram F-14. I covered up the intake with an SB vinyl cover. Markings are for VA-93 and are from Superscale. I'll post photos of the entire Bici collection on July 4th. I figure I'm about halfway done, maybe a bit more with all the ones I want to do.
