  "1/48 Hasegawa A-7E Corsair II"

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

  CAG Aircraft for VA-72 during Desert storm war.

  It was painted in this unique commemorative scheme just after the end of the conflict: the camo faded very fast during the final cruise to homeland adding a good "beast of war" look.

  I've used Hasegawa kit and many aftermarket sets: 3 aires sets (cockpit , wheels bay, electronic bay), a seamless intake, royale resine wheels, superscale and cam decals... 

  The kit cockpit is good but aires one is a dream of details, it fit very well alone but with the others 3 resin sets closing the two fuselage halves is a pain ... the rest is a simple build, the A-7 is well know to be one of the easiest hasegawa 1/48 Jet kit.

  Weapons come from hasegawa sets (sidewinders in the kit are the old D type, L version where used), the tanks were omitted because..well I wanna see the aires wheel bay! :D ..so I've switched to 4 inert mk-83  (peace & love after the victory).

  The camo is another story: the tan is a unique color (forget it about the classic sand 33531 in many instructions...the color is something like a good bronze skin) pollyscale "special tan" is a good match (thanks to Graziano for the advice) , for the red-brown I've started with pollyscale red-brown and I've added many shades of browns/red hull from the loving tamiya acrylics, I don't know why but the polly special tan is a pain with airbrush! 

  The deck was build from scratch, tie-downs went from an old etch set made by PP aeroparts, tractors went from PWMP for the MD-3 and Verlinden for EPU.

  Many thank to TPG for give me motivation to finish this work (I've finished a kit? ..wow! a very rare world event happened!) :) 

  Cheers from Italy.
