A little history of the corsair.
The LTV A-7 Corsair II was an American carrier-capable subsonic light attack aircraft designed by Ling-Temco-Vought to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Its airframe design was a somewhat smaller version of the supersonic Vought F-8 Crusader. The Corsair II initially entered service with the United States Navy (USN) during the Vietnam War. It was later adopted by the United States Air Force (USAF), including the Air National Guard, to replace the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, and North American F-100 Super Sabre. The aircraft was also exported to Greece in the 1970s, and Portugal in the late 1980s.
A nice pic of take off. I love the old hi vis schemes of the us navy!
Some pics of my effort.
There you have it, nice little kit for its age. If I had to stick to small scales, I'd much prefer 1/100 over 1/144, still small but a bit more manageable. Pity there aren't many around any more.
Anyway, thanks for checking in fellas
