Looks great! I love A-7's.  I have the Hasegawa version with Aeromaster decals for VA-86. I plan on building it 'one day'. I also want to build the HB  TA-7C, in 1/72,  because I a sucker for tandem seat aircraft, plus I just lover the look of the two-sair. Looking forward to seeing your final on this one!

Decals in place.

 

Left to do - canopy, "beast mode" ordnance, ejection seat details, control stick and canopy mechanism installment, all bay doors installment, intake cover, some minor paint corrections and some more weathering with oils and pencils...

 

Best,

Nikola

Wow - how did I miss this thread?  One of my alltime favorite planes.  You're doing a fantastic job and I dig the markings!

Thanks,

John

Thanks Cbaltrin! Glad that you like it so far. :)

As for the fingers, one does not simply make a model without damaging one's health, both physical and mental. Big Smile

Some of it is from rock climbing though. Smile

 

Best,

Nikola
