1/48 Revell A-7E Corsair II

--------------------

 

This A-7 is the Revell re-release of the Hasegawa kit. I built it straight out of box, it was a project for my Ground School class so I didn't have much time for aftermarket accessories. Overall the kit was a joy to built, not to many fit issues or nasty seams (besides the intake trunk ). Once I get some room on my desk I will probably build a second one that I can go all out on and not feel rushed.

The kit was painted using Model Master paints, and the internal bays got and landing gear got a grimy black wash. Light weathering was done on some of the lower panels and around the muzzle of the cannon using chalk pastels. Armament came out of my spares box, and consists of 2 Mk.83's from an old Monogram Hornet, and 2 Mk.20's from the Tamiya A-10.
