Yess, here it is, my A-7 Corsair and man, have I rebuilt this model over and over again. Unfortunately it looks way shorter in the photos than it is IRL.

Much much credits to Ralph S for some of the techniques he also used on his A-7, check his out!

I really started to fall in love with this model while building it, I even took apart my A-6 Intruder, which I already wanted to rebuild anyway, adding an opening cockpit and changing the wings. So look forward to that.
Next to this A-7 I have build the S-2 Tracker. It is finished, but I already want to change a few things. Photos coming soon!
At last I have build an UH-1F of the "Koninklijke marine" (Royal Netherlands Navy).

So let me know what you think and as always, comments and faves are really appreciated, enjoy!

So I thought I'd upload this picture of what I've been building lately.

Actually I started building an E-1B Tracer, but after trying and trying I decided to build one some other time. I also started building the sea king, but that one's still going!

Next to some small updates to the F-4 Phantom, I really wanted to make another aircraft. I already had the idea for the nose area for the A-7 which is why I decided to build one. It's still missing some pieces and I really need to make some weaponry (for all of them actually).
The tow tractor was just a sidebuild but so much fun figuring out how to make it and I think it turned out great.

For the future, I am planning to at least finish a helicopter and hopefully it's the Sea King I am working on. Next to this, I want to build some kind of scenery for the aircraft, because I think it would be nice next to them. Right now I have my eyes on building just the flight control tower of an aircraft carrier, probably from the USS Midway, after it was upgraded around 1970 (not sure though). Another option is building a mobile deck crane, also used on carriers.

Anyway, I hope you like it and let me know what you think in the comments! As always faves and comments are appreciated, enjoy!

Ps. Credits to multiple builders for inspiration for the A-7, but mainly Ralph S, check out his photostream, thanks!
