Heres a pair of images of my 72nd A-7E. Its an ESCI kit with Fujimi markings I got from a friend. Cant understand why the hues of the decals are so subdued (I used Gunze paints). It must really be low-viz [%-)]. All access bay details were made from scratch. Tell me what you think, guys.[:)]
Very nice piece of work, especially for 1/72. I think the decals look good. Did you fold the wings or was it a kit option.
Nice SLUF!
I’ve always liked that aircraft. Used to see tons of 'em flying around Jacksonville, Florida.
WOW Great work! Thanks for sharing!
Nice work allen! It sure turned out nice and I think the decals look fine.[;)]
Nice looking SLUFF. I like the weathering, not too heavy.
Thats a great looking model. nice job
looks swell
Thanks a lot, guys. Am glad you liked it.
Swanny,
The wing folds werent an option. I really wanted to pose the kit in that way (saves space too), and luckily I had good references. Thanks!
Interesting with the yellow outlines. Nice job.
Great looking aircraft [:D].
Great work, allan. Haven’t got any work on 1/72 A/C since last May. One of these days though, I will pick one up.
Again, nice job.
Thanks, Falcon and Jimz.
Dwight,
Thanks pare. Your hands are too greasy working on armor arent they? [:)] Im the exact opposite: I havent handled a track since March. All of the armor Ive posted here are from a year or two ago.[V]
Great job, Allan!! I only wish I could do that good in 1/48!!!
I always have been partial to attack types anyway.
Randie
Nice build, allan. I salute your eyesight & skills. I would surely go blind or insane if I attempted something like that. Good work !
Thanks, Randie. The SLUF is one of my favorite attack planes. I just love that intake.
Thank you, too, Pixilater. Been working on Braille for most of my modeling career. I guess I just got used to the size. [:)]
Hey allan,
You’ve done a really nice job on that SLUF my friend. Just like Berny mentioned, you did not over due the weathering plus the decals look good.
In all I give you [tup][tup] up.
Flaps up, Mike
Looks real good. Nice job
Allan,
What an incredible job detailing the A-7! BRAVO!!
I’d have to wear a set of magnifying goggles in order to see more than 3ft in front of me after finishing something that small.
You done a great job, thanks for sharing it with us!

Butz,
Thanks a lot, old friend. I tried to be subtle as subtle as I could on this one. Its so easy to get carried away with weathering.
Thank you, too, Idontno68.
Oldhooker,
Thanks! I already am wearing goggles. [;)]
Were you the one looking for a Beech Super King Air kit? I posted a reply to the thread already. Rareplanes came out with a 72 vac-form kit of that.
