1/72 HobbyBoss A-7P Corsair II - Portuguese Air Force (FAP)
Posted by Grant Dalzell on Wednesday, October 18, 2017 4:08 AM

I believe that this aircraft had the special markings for the last flight of the Corsair, representing 302 and 304 Squadrons, (Falcon and Tiger).

Not a bad kit, but a poor fitting main canopy needed some putty to fill gaps. Painted with Tamiya and Gunze acrylics and a Flory dark dirt wash and Mig satin varnish.

Great looking result.  The wash accented the panel lines nicely.  Looks like your putty work around the canopy came out well.

As always, it's a fine representation of a great airplane Grant. Thanks for the post and photos.

The colors look to me to be much like South East Asia camo on USAF birds, any info about the specs and campaign area?

Not sure Patrick, if you Google the Portuguese A-7P, this seems to be the standard camo on them (minus the special markings)
