1/48 Hasegawa A-7E Corsair II

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

 

Here is my recently completed A-7E Corsair II. I built this kit with some aftermarket products like a Black Box Cockpit Set, Eduard and Tom's Modelworks photo-etched set, Super Scale decals sheet and Coree production resin pilot. The model was painted with Model Master enamels and weathered with pre-shading, thinned oil paint and pastel chalks.

The most difficult part in the building was to seem the gap in the air intake but with a lot of putty and patience...the finally result is good.  Tthe kit is very good with many beautiful details.

The «Remove Before Flight Tags» are from Eduard Color Photo-etched set and these tags contribute so well to the realism of the kit.

The flight deck was made by Scratch excepted the photo-etched Tie Downs by Tom's Modelworks. The attach system to secure the aircraft on deck was made by scratch excepted the chain bought in jeweler's shop.
