I’ve always loved the A-7s. A did a couple in the 80s and wouldn’t mind doing another. There is an A-7E I’ve been eyeing on in scalehobbyist.

Joe and Tom, thank you.

Tom, get that kit. The A-7E had a nice long career and there are so many markings and load out options.

You did an outstanding job, Carlos. The edit was very easy—all the work was to adjust the background, really. What a great model build!! I think like Torben you have a special channel to the era itself.

Thank you Bruce. I do appreciate the voodoo magic that you can work with a digital photo.

I am calling this completed. Klaus inspected and approved.

I’ll get a completed build thread started over in the appropriate section here in a bit...

Thank you, Carlos. I may just get it.... soon. :whistle: Gotta come up with an excuse why I bought “another kit” when I promised I wouldn’t buy anything else since the last order was a combination of b-day and Fathers Day presents :lashed:
