j-basset Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi all, I just got Eaglestrike's Colorful Corsairs Pt.2, and was looking at the decals for the VA-93 A-7E Bu No. 150880. The BuNo. doesn't look right for an A-7E, but reference is made to page 21 D&S Colors & Markings No.15. Can someone here who has the book help me out? I need to verify if the Bu No. is correct and whether the aircraft is correctly identified in the instructions, or whatever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jason C.

j-basset Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks a lot. Definitely not an A or B model, I guess? VA-93 operated both types too. Another tell-tale sign would be the cannon muzzles, which differed on the E model. Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 The YA-7A BuNos were 152580, 581 &582. There was no version of the A-7 with BuNo 150880. The very last A-7E delivered was BuNo 160880, that is probably the one in question. 160881-160886 were canceled, never delivered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
